Accelerate institutions, raise responsibility

Hoàng Lâm |

Speaking at the opening session of the First Session of the 16th National Assembly held yesterday morning (April 6), General Secretary To Lam emphasized: "The requirements of the new development stage are posing higher, faster and more drastic requirements on institutions, on growth models, on the quality of national governance, on policy response capacity, on implementation discipline and improving people's living standards.

This is not only an order for the administrative system, but first of all a profound reminder to the National Assembly, the highest state power body, the place that shapes institutions and leads the reform process.

In the context of implementing the major policies of the Resolution of the 14th Party Congress, the role of the National Assembly cannot stop at "promulgating laws", but must strongly shift to the mindset of "creating development". This means that each law passed is not only legally correct, but also must be at the right time, relevant to the issue and immediately go into life.

The expectations of voters nationwide are that the National Assembly must take the lead in institutional innovation, unblock development bottlenecks, especially removing "bottlenecks" in mechanisms and policies that are hindering growth. At the same time, strengthen the policy testing mechanism (sandbox), creating space for innovation. If institutions can perform the role of "paving the way", all goals of growth, digital transformation or green development become feasible.

In a rapidly changing world, from global economy, geopolitics to technology, the requirement is that policies must be able to react quickly and adapt flexibly. Therefore, innovating the law-making process in the direction of shortening time, increasing predictability, and promoting the application of big data and artificial intelligence in policy analysis is a new requirement in the activities of the National Assembly.

One of the long-standing shortcomings is the gap between policy and implementation. Resolutions are correct, laws are correct, but implementation is not thorough, leading to low efficiency. The National Assembly needs to strengthen supreme supervision, especially thematic supervision for hot areas such as public investment, land, health, and education. At the same time, it is necessary to establish a monitoring mechanism after supervision, ensuring that the recommendations of the National Assembly are seriously implemented.

The ultimate goal of all policies is to improve people's living standards. Issues such as housing prices, employment, health, education, food safety... must be prioritized in the legislative and supervisory program.

The General Secretary requested: "The National Assembly must innovate more strongly, more substantively, and more effectively to fully and worthily fulfill its Constitutional responsibility". This will become a measure of the capacity of the National Assembly in the new era, continuing to affirm itself as the center of institutional innovation, the origin of breakthrough policies.

Faced with the issues being raised, voters nationwide and the business community believe that the National Assembly will play a good role in creating, supervising and leading the guidelines of the Resolution of the 14th Party Congress, transforming them into specific and practical changes in the lives of each citizen.
