Opening the meeting, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that we have gone through nearly 7 months of 2025. The law-making work has been actively carried out by the Government, ministries and branches and achieved high efficiency. The Government also closely and effectively coordinated with the National Assembly in building and perfecting institutions.

Many legal documents have been passed, promptly serving the operation of the two-level local government and the agencies continue to monitor and grasp the process of operating the two-level local government. If any problems or shortcomings arise, they will propose amendments and supplements in accordance with the situation and requirements. After the laws are promulgated, the Government, ministries and branches also urgently develop and promulgate guiding documents for implementation so that the laws can be promptly put into practice.

Implementing the direction of the Politburo and the Secretariat, headed by General Secretary To Lam, in 2025, the Government will strive to review the entire legal system and amend and supplement it to remove obstacles and inadequacies, promoting innovation and development.

The Prime Minister requested leaders of ministries, branches and government agencies to directly direct and participate in law-making. It is necessary to urgently resolve practical problems and create conditions for development.
