In his opening remarks, the PM emphasised that institutions are a driving force and resource for development, and they can also be both a 'bottleneck of bottlenecks' and a 'breakthrough of breakthroughs'. Therefore, investing in the building and perfection of laws is investing in development, and a well-executed lawmaking process will create opportunities for growth.

Highlighting that lawmaking is a mandatory requirement in leadership and management, he requested ministers, heads of ministry-level agencies, and government-affiliate agencies to exert efforts to lawmaking to ensure quality and effectiveness.

This approach will unlock the full potential of production forces, including production materials, resources, human capital, and historical and cultural traditions, while mobilising all available resources for the country's socio-economic development, he stressed.

The supplementation and amendment of legal regulations must ensure six clarifications: the contents that are omitted; the contents that are amended; the contents that are added; the contents that are reduced or simplified in administrative procedures; the contents that involve decentralisation and delegation of authority; and the issues with controversial opinions that need to be reported to the Standing Committee of the Government, the Government, and the Prime Minister for consideration and direction.

According to the agenda, at this session, the Government will review and discuss the amended Atomic Energy Law; the Law on Water Supply and Drainage; the Law on Urban Management and Development; the Law on Science, Technology, and Innovation; the Law on Economical and Efficient Use of Energy; and the proposal to amend the Enterprise Law.
