Concluding the meeting, Deputy Minister Le Quoc Hung emphasized that amending and supplementing the 2013 Constitution and related legal documents is an urgent and essential task, aimed at establishing a solid legal foundation for all Central agencies, ministries, sectors and people to implement the Party and State’s key policies on restructuring and streamlining the political system.

The Deputy Minister requested that all public security units and agencies regard it as a particularly important and urgent political mission in the coming period, and accordingly mobilize maximum human and material resources to effectively implement their assigned tasks.

He further instructed the Police Department of Social Order Administrative Management to utilize its full force and technical infrastructure to ensure smooth reception of people’s opinions and comments on the VNeID application as well as to comprehensively summarize all feedback without overlooking any good one.

In addition, Deputy Minister Le Quoc Hung directed all provincial-level police departments to guide their subordinate communal-level police units to encourage citizens to give feedback to the draft, aiming for at least 90% of citizens with level-2 e-ID accounts to make comments on the draft on the VNeID application.
