NA Vice Chairwoman Nguyen Kim Ngan attended the event along with Vietnamese and foreign experts from Germany, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Cambodia and the Philippines.

In her opening speech, NA Chairwoman Ngan said the 1992 Constitution of Vietnam has contributed greatly to the country’s renewal but, given the rapidly changing situation in the country and the world today, the Constitution needs to be supplemented and revised to be relevant to the new context.

The Vietnamese NA has defined seven constitutional issues that need revising in the near future with the main focus on amending content related to the organization of the State, she said.

International experts highlighted the need to revamp the organization of the State apparatus, saying that studying models of State powers in other countries will be a useful source of reference for perfecting the state of Vietnam.

They also shared experiences in organizing State powers in the constitutions of some other countries and discussed mechanisms for sharing control and power in Europe, Asia and Germany.
