Japan shares experience in constitutional enforcement
(VOV) - Leading Japanese experts including Tokyo University’s Honourable Professor Higuchi Yoichi and Legal Department Deputy Head Tachibana Yukinobu shared their experience in constitutional enforcement at a February 14 seminar in Hanoi.
Organised by the National Assembly Office (NA Office) and Japan International Cooperation Agency, the seminar offered Vietnamese agencies a chance to learn how international expertise can guide constitutional enforcement in Vietnam.
Introducing the 2013 amended Constitution, NA Office Vice Chairman Nguyen Sy Dung stressed the constitution’s institutional reforms and new regulations lay firm foundations for a Vietnamese State governed by law and respectful of citizens’ rights.

The changes to the constitution also encourage decentralising power to local administrations, establishing a national election council, promoting human rights more broadly, and continuing Vietnam’s comprehensive Renewal process.
The NA Standing Committee has issued a resolution on implementing Vietnam’s constitutional amendments in a timely, united, and efficient manner.
All constitutional regulations must be respected if Vietnam’s Renewal process—striving to create a wealthy people, a strong nation, and a democratic, equitable, and civilised society—is to have any chance of success.
