Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on June 13 demanded that the Government continue to enhance discipline, reform mindset and working methodology, and effectively implement the strategic institutional breakthrough to unlock all resources for development.

He made the request while addressing the Government’s June meeting on law building.

Stressing the need to push forwards with making the strategic breakthrough in institutional building and perfection, PM Chinh said tackling mechanism and policy bottlenecks will help mobilise resources for development, and that investing in institutional building means investing in development.

He pointed out that the situation is changing fast and unpredictably, so many legal documents have failed to keep up with those changes or match the reality. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly review mechanisms and policies.

The Government leader emphasised the importance of boosting the decentralisation of power, promoting all-level authorities’ creativity, innovation and proactiveness, appropriately distributing resources, improving the implementation capacity, and enhancing examination and supervision.

He also ordered administrative procedures and business conditions be further streamlined, bureaucracy and compliance cost reduced for people and enterprises, and the “asking - giving” mechanism abolished to eradicate the environment for corruption and negative phenomena.

Regarding focal tasks for the time ahead, PM Chinh asked ministries and sectors to keep working closely and effectively with one another and National Assembly (NA) agencies to serve the second phase of the NA’s seventh session, especially in fine-tuning draft laws.

They need to speed up the drafting of legal documents, as well as documents detailing and guiding the enforcement of laws and ordinances so that they can take effect at the same time with the corresponding laws and ordinances, thus ensuring the legal system’s consistency.

The PM also told ministries and sectors to keep listening to opinions from experts, scientists, insiders, enterprises, and people; consult international experiences that suit domestic conditions; and increase policy communication to boost consensus in and effectiveness of law building, issuance, and enforcement.

During the meeting, officials looked into the draft revised Law on Chemicals, the draft law amending and supplementing some articles of the Law on Advertising, and another amending and supplementing some articles of the Law on Standards and Technical Regulations. They also listened to proposals on the building of a law on data, a law on disease prevention, and a law amending and supplementing some articles of the Law on Healt𓆉h Insurance./.
