Thereby, liberating all productive forces including means of production, resources, human resources, historical and cultural traditions... and all other resources for the country's socio-economic development.

The Prime Minister requested that in the process of proposing, supplementing, amending and perfecting legal regulations, it is necessary to ensure 6 things clearly: Contents to be omitted; contents to be amended and perfected; contents to be supplemented; contents to be cut down and simplified of administrative procedures; contents to be decentralised and delegated; issues with different opinions and other issues that need to be reported to the Government Standing Committee, the Government, and the Prime Minister for consideration and direction.

Along with that, the development of new legal documents must ensure the following principles: Institutionalizing the Party and State's policies and guidelines; contents that do not have legal regulations to regulate; contents that have legal regulations but have been overcome in practice; contents that need to be resolved; simplifying and reducing administrative procedures; decentralization; issues that still have many different opinions...

Directing the drafting of legal documents to be concise, clear, easy to understand, easy to apply, easy to do, easy to evaluate, easy to inspect and monitor, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested that they be implemented quickly, "while doing, learn from experience, perfect and gradually expand, not be perfectionist, not hasty", "what is ripe, clear, proven to be correct in practice, and agreed by the majority, then apply and legalize; issues that are still fluctuating and complicated, especially issues related to the economy and society, must leave room for completion, summary, replication and legalization".

The Prime Minister requested that Government members concentrate their intelligence and promote a high sense of responsibility during the exchange and discussion process; present reports and clearly state their opinions; focus on discussing important issues, with different opinions requiring the Government's opinion; and ensure the quality of the draft laws submitted to the Government for consideration at the Session.
