At the outset, General Secretary To Lam reviewed Vietnam’s achievements in institutional and legal development over the past 80 years and pointed out some limitations and shortcomings that require reform.

According to the General Secretary, the world is undergoing epochal changes and that realizing the nation's aspiration to rise up requires Vietnam to focus on improving its institutions and laws to fully unleash productive forces, unlock all available resources, harness the country’s potential and strengths, and seize every development opportunity. 

In response to this requirement, on April 30, 2025, the Party Central Committee's Politburo issued Resolution No. 66-NQ/TW on “Renovating the law making and enforcement process to meet the national development requirements in the new era” - a particularly important thematic resolution containing many strategic decisions.

To realize the Resolution and translate its vision into tangible results, General Secretary To Lam stressed that the entire Party, people, and armed forces must thoroughly grasp and effectively carry out the tasks and solutions in the Resolution, especially the following key tasks and solutions:

First, it is a must to ensure the Party’s comprehensive and direct leadership in law-making, while fully promoting Party characteristics in law building and enforcement.

Second, it is necessary to renew the mindset and orientation of law-making in a way that both ensures state management and encourages creativity, unleashes all production potential, and unlocks all resources for development.

Third, breakthroughs should be created in law enforcement. It is important to strongly promote the spirit of serving the public, a development-oriented mindset, and actions for the common good among officials, civil servants, and public employees.
