In the coming time, in order to continue promoting the practical meaning and efficiency of the Law Day, Minister Lam asked relevant agencies and units under the MPS to accelerate the drafting of the assigned law projects so as to early submit them to the 15th National Assembly for consideration and adoption.

He also asked them to actively internalize international treaties to which Vietnam is a signatory while negotiating, signing or acceding to bilateral and multilateral international treaties on crime combat, mutual legal assistance in criminal matters, extradition and transfer of sentenced persons.

The Minister also asked under-ministerial agencies and local-level units to further promote administrative reforms as well as simplify administrative procedures to create favorable conditions and ensure legitimate rights and interests of people.
