Hanoi (VNA) – National Assembly (NA) Chairman Tran Thanh Man on February 24 attended a ceremony launching a book series of laws adopted at the 10th session of the 15th NA, urging a strong overhaul of communications on political and legal publications.

The event took place at the headquarters of the Su That (Truth) National Political Publishing House in Hanoi.

Addressing the ceremony, the top legislator said the publication of the book collection concretises the principle that “laws must go one step ahead, paving the way for innovation, with the people’s lives and interests serving as the yardstick for policymaking.”

He noted that the book set covers most key areas of national development. In economic management and governance, the newly adopted laws focus on removing bottlenecks in land management, investment, planning and construction, while promoting decentralisation and improving governance capacity. In science, technology and digital transformation, Vietnam has for the first time promulgated a synchronised legal framework, including the Law on Digital Transformation, the Law on Artificial Intelligence and the Law on High Technology, affirming its alignment with emerging global trends. In healthcare, education and social security, the legal corridor has been improved to protect public health and enhance the quality of life.
