At the event, he said after 35 years of renovation, the country hasmade strides in building a law-governed State, with improved people’s lives andstrengthened public trust on the Party leadership, State and regime.

However, many problems remain, such as reforms of the economy and apparatus are uneven, the supervisory role of the people and people-electedagencies does not meet expectation, legal enforcement is not strict enough, and judicial andadministrative reforms are yet to meet requirements for national development, the President said.

Experts were of the opinions that the building of scheme should be guided by the spirit of upholding the role and position of the law, and the strategy must aim for promoting progress in socio-economy, cultureand environment, and most importantly, towards the people.

The scheme should tackle shortcomings in existing laws and takeinto consideration the harmonisation between Vietnamese and international laws, theysaid.

They highlighted the viewpoint that the scheme must follow the principle of putting the Constitution and laws first, and harmoniously handle relations between the State and citizens,and between collectives and individuals on the basis of respect and equality.
