A conference on the implementation of the National Assembly’s Resolution on law and ordinance making program in the remaining months of 2020 and 2021 took place in Hanoi on July 16.
Minister To Lam speaks at the event. 

Speaking at the event, General To Lam, Politburo Member and Minister of Public Security, raised questions about the absence of the draft Law on Forces Involved in Ensuring Security and Order at the Grassroots Level and draft Law on Ensuring Road Traffic Order and Safety in the agenda for the next sitting of the National Assembly (NA).

Earlier, the Government and the NA Standing Committee already commented on the two draft laws submitted by the Ministry of Public Security (MPS), the agency in charge of drafting the two laws.

If the two draft laws were not included in the agenda for the next NA sitting, they would not be passed by the NA in the next sitting, Minister Lam said.

Minister To Lam added that traffic order and safety is an important and indivisible part of public order and safety. On this basis, the MPS proposed to build the Law on Ensuring Road Traffic Order and Safety. The Government and the NA Standing Committee have basically agreed on building of this law.

Speaking at the event, Vice NA Chairman Uong Chu Luu confirmed that leaders of the MPS had reported on the two laws at several meetings of the NA Standing Committee. The NA Standing Committee had also requested the Government and the MPS to submit the dossiers of the two law projects in accordance with the Law on Promulgation of Legal Documents. But the NA has not received any documents related to the two laws, said the Vice NA Chairman.

The Vice NA Chairman also noted that the MPS and the Ministry of Transport should carefully review and agree on common terms and issues articulated in the Law on Road Traffic (amended) and the draft Law on Ensuring Road Traffic Order and Safety. After that the two ministries should ask the Government to give specific comments on the issues.
