Prime Minister highlights importance of law observance
Hanoi (VNA) – Progress has been made in building
and perfecting institutions and laws over the past time, contributing to promoting
socio-economic recovery and development, maintaining political stability, ensuring
national defence and security and expanding international integration,
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said at a meeting held on November 6 to
celebrate Vietnam's Law Day.
Over the two years of fighting against COVID-19, pandemic prevention and control policies have been effectively disseminated in many forms, he said, adding that many contests on learning about the constitutions and laws have been
held, attracting a large number of people.
However, the PM pointed out that the awareness of the role, position, importance of and comprehensive investment in the building and dissemination of laws has failed to meet the demand and the quality of law-building remains poor.
Cases of drug smuggling and trafficking of children and women across
the border still exist due to a lack of understanding of laws, he said,
adding that law violations also occurred among officials, civil servants and
public employees who are on duty.
Therefore, the sixth plenum of the 13th Party
Central Committee defined that complying with the law and Constitution becomes rules
of conduct for all subjects in the society. The State is organised and operates in
line with the Constitution and law, and manage the society by the Constitution and
law, PM Chinh said.
To realise this initiative, in the coming time, the PM asked
agencies to carry out a number of tasks, including continuing to perfect the
institutions - one of three strategic breakthroughs, considering it an investment
for development. He said that laws must be consistent with real life and adjusted in line
with reality.
The PM said that law dissemination needs to be renewed and focus on people,
adding that officials, party members, civil servants, and public employees must
voluntarily set an example in observing the law.
"All violations of the law must be detected and handled
promptly, fairly, and strictly," he said, expressing his hope that each
individual and business to actively learn and comply with the law for their benefits and interests of the community.
Collectives and individuals with outstanding
achievements in law dissemination and education were also awarded the PM’s certificates of merit at the event./.
