Among them were a draft law on road traffic safety andan amended draft law on road traffic.
After hearing opinions on the two bills, the PMstressed the necessity to build a draft law on road traffic safety that isseparate from the draft law on road traffic, and lauded the preparation andcoordination of concerned ministries and agencies in drafting the document.
He asked the Ministry of Public Security and theMinistry of Transport to avoid any overlaps between the two documents in termsof State management in ensuring road traffic order and safety, saying decentralisationto local authorities in this regard should be clarified.
The PM also called for unity between the law on roadtraffic safety and others such as the Maritime Law, the Railway Law, theInternal Waterway Transport Law, and the Civil Aviation Law.
Cabinet members also looked into a revised draft law ondrug prevention and control that comprises eight chapters and 67 articles.
The PM hailed police forces and residents inlocalities for their efforts in the fight against drug crime.
Another document debated at the meeting was a draftlaw on forces safeguarding security and order at the grassroots level, which,the PM said, is necessary to promote the role and responsibility ofself-managed forces in residential areas in protecting local security andorder.
The law should prescribe coordination mechanismsbetween forces and the coordinating role of police in communes, wards, andtowns, thus ensuring combined strength, but no overlapping, in the work, he said./.
