The Chairman made the statement at a national conference to review judicial implementations in 2014 and launch 2015 tasks in Hanoi on January 15th.

He also asked the sector to continue monitoring the entire legal system and to make timely amendments, supplements, dismissals or promulgations of legal documents in line with the Constitution.

He affirmed that the 2013 Constitution has laid a political and legal foundation for the country to enter in the next level of development.

The sector is requested to enhance inspections, monitoring, and state management over the development and promulgation of legal documents in close partnership with legal enforcement, while simultaneously accelerating administrative reform, social involvement, and technological application.

According to Dinh Trung Tung, Deputy Minister of Justice, so far more than 100,000 legal documents have been examined, hundreds of others have been replaced, amended or simplified, and initiatives on administrative reform have proven effective, contributing to high quality of life and socio-economic development in the country./.
