HÀ NỘI — Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính, who is also head of the steering committee for reviewing and handling shortcomings in legal documents, chaired its third meeting in Hà Nội on September 28.

The meeting focused on addressing shortcomings in key laws and ensuring a more efficient regulatory framework to support economic growth and stability.

PM Chính requested immediate action to fix shortcomings in the 2018 Law on Crop Production, the Law on Environmental Protection, the Law on Marine and Island Resources and Environment, the Law on the Organisation of the Government, and the Local Government Organisation Law.

He asked relevant ministries and agencies to promptly develop a new law to amend multiple laws related to public investment. Additionally, they were tasked with drafting the amended Law on the Management and Use of State Capital in Enterprises to resolve obstacles and unlock resources for development, especially during challenging times.

For proposed laws which are not included in the 2025 legislation building programme and plan, the PM called for their integration during the law evaluation process to ensure compliance with legal regulations.

Another key proposal was to identify institutional "bottlenecks" to facilitate production and trade. This aims to achieve the goals of promoting growth, controlling inflation, and stabilising the macro-economy.

Alongside law-making work, the government leader underlined the need to promptly issue decrees guiding the timely and effective enforcement of laws, and hold seminars and conferences to collect feedback on legal fields under review, especially those with differing opinions. — VNS
