They made the point when joining the staff of the Vietnamese Embassy in Thailand, Vietnamese lawyers, and overseas Vietnamese students in a discussion on the draft amendments to the 1992 Constitution of Vietnam in Bangkok on March 21.

They pointed to the Party’s close bond with the nation and its tested driving power to rally the entire nation’s strength in developing the country towards progress, democracy and civilization, expressing their confidence in the Party’s leadership in the national construction and defence.

Many said the draft amendments to the Constitution are positive, creating an important legal foundation for the homeland’s development while highlighting democracy, human rights, and citizens’ rights in all fields.
