PM Chinh on Wednesday chaired monthly Government law-making session to review and give feedback on eight legislation matters, including seven draft laws and the Government's legislative agenda for 2026.

He said building and finetuning laws must ensure both time frame and quality and stressed the need to closely following reality, ensure the highest legal principles, feasibility, and effectiveness. Commenting on the amendments of the Law on Drug Prevention and Control, Prime Minister Chinh underlined the viewpoint of "prevention is better than cure".

“Preventing and repelling drug crimes is to prevent and repel the development of drug demand. The Party's new viewpoint is that drug addiction is a crime, however, pay attention to this humanitarian issue when drug addicts are minors so as to guarantee their s the right to study and practice,” PM Chinh said.
