In addition, the Government provided opinions on the transfer of Vocational College No. 1, Vocational College No.4, and Vocational College No.20 under the Ministry of Defense to be under the management of the Ministry of Labor, Invalids, and Social Affairs.
PM Chinh required ministers to seriously acquire feedback, continue consulting with experts and scientists, and collaborate effectively with relevant ministries, sectors, and agencies during the drafting and finalization of these legislative documents.
Stating that at the upcoming eighth plenary session of the 15th National Assembly, the Government will submit to it for comments on 11 draft laws, and consideration and approval of 14 others, Chinh stressed the task is very heavy, requiring ministers and heads of ministerial-level agencies to focus resources, and direct the completion of these draft laws in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents.
The Government leader emphasized that the process of building and finalizing draft laws and ordinances must ensure thorough decentralization; effectively mobilize and allocate resources; design tools to enhance oversight, monitoring, and control of power; streamline and simplify administrative procedures to reduce costs for businesses and improve the investment and business environment; and prevent the inclusion of regulations that favor specific interest groups, or create opportunities for corruption and negative phenomena.
He asked ministries and agencies to coordinate closely and effectively with the National Assembly's agencies in presenting, reviewing, and acquiring, and clarifying the legislature's and its members' opinions. They should also enhance policy communication to build high consensus, and build and issue detailed documents guiding the implementation of laws and ordinances, so as to ensure the coherence and consistency of the legal system.
