In his opening remarks, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that institutional reform is one of the three strategic breakthroughs, dubbed the “breakthrough of breakthroughs,” yet it still faces numerous bottlenecks. Therefore, the Communist Party, led by General Secretary To Lam, aims to transform institutional barriers into national competitive advantages. Over the past period, the National Assembly, the Government, and various ministries have made significant efforts and coordinated closely to resolve legal obstacles.
According to the Prime Minister, the legal framework often fails to cover all practical scenarios, or reality has outpaced existing regulations. Thus, institutional improvement should follow the principle: codify what is “clear and mature” into laws, while addressing “unclear and immature” issues through sub-legal documents for pilot testing, learning, and gradual refinement, avoiding perfectionism and haste.
At the specialized meeting on August 5, 2025, agencies identified nearly 40% of recommendations as valid, corresponding to 834 out of 2,092 recommendations across 789 legal documents. General Secretary To Lam has mandated the substantial removal of legal bottlenecks by the end of 2025, stressing that “further delay is unacceptable.”
The Government Party Committee, the Ministry of Justice, and other ministries are tasked with enhancing the quality of document review, appraisal, and verification, ensuring accurate handling solutions. Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long has signed a decision issuing a directive plan to address 834 challenges and 21 disputed recommendations. Official opinions from ministries will be made public for transparency among agencies, organizations, businesses, and individuals.
During this meeting, the Prime Minister directed the Steering Committee to focus on implementing tasks outlined in Announcement No. 150/TB-VPCP dated April 3, 2025; reviewing documents affected by organizational restructuring; and resolving difficulties as per Plan No. 20-KH/ĐUCP dated July 10, 2025. Additionally, they must report on the implementation of General Secretary To Lam’s conclusions in Announcement No. 08-TB/BCĐTW dated August 8, 2025, regarding the handling of 834 challenges and the publication of 1,237 non-legal-issue recommendations.
The Prime Minister highlighted three key goals for the upcoming period. First, institutional reform must shift from a “management-first, ban-if-unmanageable” mindset to a development-enabling and citizen-serving approach, ensuring openness and improved livelihoods. Second, decentralization and resource allocation must be coupled with enhanced oversight, while minimizing administrative bottlenecks. Third, local authorities at two levels must improve operational capacity to better serve the public.
To achieve these goals, the Prime Minister instructed ministries to finalize review results, publish official responses on electronic information portals, and utilize review outcomes for legal development. They are also to study mechanisms under Resolution No. 206/2025/QH15, allowing the Government to issue legal resolutions for timely institutional bottleneck removal.
The Prime Minister called on the entire political system to act urgently and decisively, striving to eliminate all institutional barriers by 2025. This will create a transparent legal foundation for economic development, targeting 8.3-8.5% growth this year and double-digit growth in subsequent years.
