Hanoi (VNA) – It is an urgent need to push aheadwith building and perfecting a law-governed socialist State of the people, bythe people and for the people, President Tran Dai Quang wrote in an articlepublished on January 9.

According to him, that task becomes all the moreimportant as Vietnam is entering a period of stronger industrialisation,modernisation and international integration full of opportunities, advantagesand challenges.

A law-governed socialist State of the people, by the peopleand for the people is a basic orientation for promoting socialist democracy andensuring that all the State power belongs to the people.

Democracy must be expanded in tandem withtightening discipline. Rights must go along with responsibilities and duties.Democracy has to be institutionalised through law, and it must be practicedwithin the legal framework.

The President asked for the socialist legalsystem to be consolidated across lawmaking, law observance and law protection.Stronger efforts must be invested in building a synchronous, modern andtransparent legal system that matches the demands of the country’ssocio-economic development and international integration.

Codes and laws promulgated must be feasible andunderstandable as well as specific to reduce the need to issue guidancedocuments, he noted.

Aside from enhancing social management throughlaws and the rule of law, it is necessary to attach importance to political, ideological,moral and cultural education while combining the power of law with the power ofmorality, cultural and public opinion.

President Quang wrote that the VietnamFatherland Front and its member organisations should take up a greater role andbigger responsibility in building and protecting the administration, protectingpeople’s right to mastery, attracting people’s involvement in state managementactivities, and fighting corruption, wastefulness, bureaucracy and othernegative phenomena in the State apparatus and society.

He also underlined the need to build acontingent of lawyers and judicial experts who are able to deal with legal casesinvolving foreign factors and international disputes, thereby protectingnational interests as well as legitimate rights and interests of Vietnameseagencies, organisations and individuals.

In his article, the State leader expressed hisbelief that by pressing on with reforms, capitalising on every opportunity and overcomingall difficulties and challenges, the construction and perfection of alaw-governed socialist State of the people, by the people and for the peoplewill definitely obtain even greater achievements, thus fostering the country’srapid and sustainable development for a rich people, a strong country and ademocratic, equitable and civilised society on the path to the socialism.-VNA
