Da Nang (VNA) – A national conference was held in central Da Nang city on January 17 to look into the continued promotion of judicial reform to serve the building and completion of a law-governed socialist state of Vietnam.
This is the second national conference held by the steering committee for drafting a strategy for building and completing a law-governed socialist state of Vietnam by 2030, with a vision to 2045. The first event took place last December.
In his opening remarks, Chairman of the National Assembly Vuong Dinh Hue said developing a judicial reform strategy is one of the key tasks of this work and also an urgent issue in the current context.
After 15 years of implementing the Politburo’s Resolution No. 49 on the judicial reform strategy by 2020, many significant outcomes have been recorded, he said, elaborating that the judicial sector has made a great stride in protecting justice, human rights, citizens’ rights, the State’s interests, as well as legitimate interests of organisations. The law making and completion have basically managed to institutionalise the Party’s guidelines on judicial reform.

However, the top legislator also pointed out certain problems, adding that strong impacts of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the country’s intensive and extensive integration into the world require judicial reform be further enhanced to better meet requirements in the new context.
Providing a brief overview of the meeting, President Nguyen Xuan Phuc, head of steering committee, noted the new judicial reform strategy should continue identifying the reform of courts as a breakthrough step. Besides, it is necessary to push ahead with reforming the judicial system while ensuring effective control of power in judicial activities.
Participants also shared the view that judicial reform must be placed under the Party’s comprehensive leadership and firmly maintain the nature of a law-governed socialist state of Vietnam that is of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Judicial reform must be carried out in tandem with legislative and administrative reform to guarantee that the State power is consistent, with task assignment, coordination, and control among State agencies in exercising the legislative, executive, and judicial powers, President Phuc added.
In the time ahead, the steering committee will hold a third conference to discuss new and breakthrough issues in the building and completion of a law-governed socialist state of Vietnam. Some specialised workshops will also take place./.
The Central Steering Committee for Judicial Reform held a meeting on September 8 to finalise a draft project entitled “Organisation and operation of the Central Steering Committee for Judicial Reform”.
President Nguyen Xuan Phuc has emphasised the need to build an open and transparent court and judicial sector under the public supervision for the people and serve the people in the best way.

The Party and State of Vietnam always attach great importance to and give top priority to the development of Vietnam–China relations. Vietnam is ready to work with the Chinese Party and State to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and promote the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.

Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.

Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
