Regarding law making in 2021, the PM required the strict implementation of Decree No.43/CT-TTg on improving the quality of building and completing the law system and increasing the efficiency of law enforcement.

He requested ministries and sectors to actively coordinate in revising draft laws discussed at the 14th National Assembly’s 10th session, and focus on drafting and submitting draft laws under the 2021 law making program.

The Ministry of Transport is responsible for closely working with the Ministry of Public Security to study and collect opinions of NA deputies on the draft Law on Road Transport (amended) and the Law on Assurance of Traffic Order and Safety, he said, asking the Ministry of Transport to clarify the necessity, the scope of amendment, and the relationship between the two draft laws.

The Ministry of Public Security should collect comments on the draft Law on forces participating in the protection of security and order at the grassroots level, with the focus on the need to issue the law, and report to the Government for consideration and discussion with the Law and Ordinance Making Program in 2022, and adjusting the program in 2021.

The draft Decree regulating multidimensional poverty benchmark for 2021-2025 was also put on table during this Government meeting. Since 1993, Vietnam has issued national poverty benchmark for seven times.

The benchmark for multidimensional poverty is considered a foundation to define poverty reduction targets in the 13th Party Congress Documents as well as resolutions of the NA and Government during 2021-2025.
