Speaking Friday at a ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of the National Assembly's adoption of Vietnam's first Constitution, Mr. Lam described the event as a historic milestone.
“The 80th anniversary offers an opportunity to further uphold Vietnam’s core constitutional values: national independence is associated with the people's right to mastery, and state power belongs to the people and must be organized and exercised in accordance with the Constitution and law,” the top leader said.
“Preserving our constitutional legacy requires us to remain steadfast in these fundamental values while proactively pursuing reforms based on practical experience. The stability of these values and principles ensures continuity in the organization and operation of the State, providing a solid legal foundation for citizens and businesses to confidently develop and implement their long-term plans,” he noted.
National Assembly President Tran Thanh Man said Vietnam's constitutions and the National Assembly's legislative work have long been closely tied to the nation's destiny, reflecting the people's aspirations and the strength of national unity.
“The 14th National Party Congress called for a comprehensive review and revision of the 2013 Constitution to meet the country’s practical needs and development requirements in the new era. It also identified lawmaking and law enforcement as ‘a breakthrough of breakthroughs.’ The National Assembly will continue to pursue major reforms in both its thinking and actions,” said Mr. Man.
