According to the Government leader, numerous legal documents have already been adopted, promptly supporting the operation of the two-tier local government system. Agencies are continuing to monitor the system’s implementation, and any issues or inadequacies that arise will be proposed for timely revision or supplementation to match practical requirements.
Following the passage of laws, the Government and relevant ministries have been promptly drafting and issuing guiding documents to ensure that legislation is effectively implemented.
Under the direction of the Politburo and the Party Secretariat, led by General Secretary To Lam, the Government aims to comprehensively review the legal system, making necessary amendments to remove obstacles and inconsistencies, while fostering development and innovation, he said.
The Prime Minister instructed Ministers and heads of agencies to personally lead and actively engage in legal development.
