At the event in Hanoi, the Internal Affairs Commission and experts held that the draft strategy had been built in a methodological and scientific manner.
They also gave opinions on important issues such as the relationship between the Party’s leadership, the State’s management and the people's mastery; the control of state power in the law-governed socialist state of Vietnam; the mechanism for decentralisation in the state apparatus; and reforms of agencies and organisations.
President Phuc, head of the steering committee for the strategy drafting project, highly valued the drafting group’s efforts and sense of responsibility, noting that the draft strategy had received the majority of support among relevant agencies and organisations.
He stressed the requirement that the draft must conform to the Party’s guidelines for building a law-governed socialist state of Vietnam, and that institutions must have firm legal and political foundations.
