National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man made the request at a meeting in Hanoi on March 4 between National Assembly leaders and National Assembly bodies to draw up bold legislative agenda for 2025.

He urged National Assembly committees and agencies to strive to fulfill their assigned tasks, particularly by studying amendments and supplements to certain provisions of the Constitution related to the organization of the political system.

Vietnam is implementing Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW of the Party Central Committee on restructuring and reforming the political system toward a streamlined, efficient, and effective apparatus.

Among the tasks, it will study the merger of some provincial-level units, eliminate the district level administrations, and merge some commune-level units that requires amendments to the Constitution.

Vietnam has amended the Constitution four times - in 1959, 1980, 1992, and 2013 - since the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, in 1945.

During the meeting, the chief legislator also stressed the need to review and amend several related laws and resolutions, such as the Law on the Organization of Local Governments and the Law on the Election of National Assembly Deputies and People's Council Deputies.

National Assembly agencies should work in coordination with government agencies to study and propose amendments and supplements to legislation regarding mechanisms and policies for officials, civil servants, public employees, and workers affected by the reorganization of administrative units at the grassroots level, he said.
