Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has urged the Ministry of Justice to remove overlaps and contradictions in legal documents while addressing the ministry’s conference on December 23 to implement tasks for the 2021-2025 period.
He noted that legal constitution was an important basis for national construction and development. The national legal system has been completed in all sectors over the past five years.
“Effective law building and enforcement are the utmost conditions to promote the country’s development. The part of the Ministry of Justice is getting more significant, requiring the sector to continue taking the leading role,” Phuc said.
Emphasising the role of legal affair officers, the prime minister said more than 45,000 staff of the ministry must set an example in law enforcement and law-building consultation to push back against violations.
He praised the sector for completing assigned political tasks, contributing to achievements of the whole country in socio-economy, defence-security and external affairs.
However, the sector must review its shortcomings including slow issuance of legal documents instructing law enforcement and violations in civil judgment enforcement.
He urged the sector to avoid group benefits and corruption in law building while improving public service quality in judicial administration, focusing on areas such as civil status, nationality, judicial record, state compensation, child adoption and creating a trustful and convenient legal network for people and businesses.
The ministry was asked to complete legal constitutions and effectively implement regulations in civil and administrative judgement execution.
Phuc requested the ministry to streamline its personnel and apply information technology in administrative reform and step up inspections in state management, especially in areas directly related to people and businesses.
According to the ministry’s report delivered at the conference, this year it has consulted competent agencies to finalise 17 laws and reviewed more than 32,000 legal documents.
