PM Chinh said:  Building legal institutions is a resource, a driving force, and a development goal and investment in institutional and legal development is investment in development itself. Institutional and legal frameworks must place people and businesses at the center, as both are the masters, they should be involved in the process and comply strictly with the law. We need to turn institutions and laws into a source of national competitiveness, transforming “bottlenecks” and “constraints” into competitive advantages."
