Draft Resolution Proposed by NA for Constitution Alteration
HÀ NỘI — National Assembly (NA) Vice Chairman, Nguyen Khac Dinh, presented the draft resolution on amendments and supplements to several articles of the 2013 Constitution during the 9th session of the 15th NA. The revisions are aimed at ensuring the absolute, comprehensive, and direct leadership of the Communist Party of Việt Nam.
The draft resolution encompasses two main areas: proposed amendments to provisions concerning the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) and socio-political organizations, and provisions relating to the organization of local government. It's important to note that while the enrichment data does not provide a clause-by-clock breakdown of the specific articles, it does offer valuable insights into the thematic and structural changes proposed for the constitution [3][4][1].
Key Proposals and Changes
VFF & Socio-political Organizations
The draft resolution seeks to strengthen the roles of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and its constituent organizations [4][1]. This inclusive project involves a streamlined political-administrative system and local government.
Local Government Structure
In line with broader reforms, the proposed changes aim to restructure the government into a two-tier system (provincial and communal levels), abolishing district-level administrations across the country [4][5][1].
Public Consultation and Approval
Citizens, sectors, and legislators are encouraged to provide feedback during the public consultation period, which began on May 6 and concludes on June 5, 2025. The NA will review the amendments at its session on June 24, 2025, before approving and finalizing them [3]. The amendments are set to take effect on July 1, 2025 [1][5].
The drafting committee emphasizes that the process must follow a democratic, scientific, and objective approach in full compliance with legal procedures [3][4].
In a Nutshell
The proposed amendments are a significant step in refining Vietnam's political framework, focusing on administrative streamlining and reinforcing Party-led institutions [3][4][1]. Be sure to make your voice heard during the public consultation period to contribute to shaping the future of Việt Nam's government!
