I. Summary of the implementation of the 1992 Constitution (amended and supplemented in 2001) and some basic contents that need to be amended and supplemented to the 1992 Constitution

1. On summarizing the implementation of the 1992 Constitution

The 1992 Constitution is the Constitution of the early period of renovation, the fundamental law of the State, an important political and legal document, reflecting the progressive democratic nature of our State and regime. The implementation of the 1992 Constitution over the past 20 years has achieved great achievements. However, after 25 years of renovation, the socio-economic situation of our country has undergone profound and comprehensive changes, the country's international integration process has become increasingly deeper, democracy in all areas of social life has been increasingly expanded, so many provisions of the Constitution have been surpassed by practice and are no longer suitable.

2. Basic contents of the 1992 Constitution amendment

The amendment of the 1992 Constitution must be based on the results of summarizing 20 years of implementing the 1992 Constitution and inheriting the relevant provisions of the 1946, 1959, 1980 and 1992 Constitutions, and must fully grasp the purposes, requirements, viewpoints and orientations stated in Resolution 2 of the 11th Central Committee and the Resolution of the National Assembly on amending the 1992 Constitution. Only amend issues that are clear, proven correct by practice, have sufficient basis and create high basic unity. The 5th Central Committee Conference approved the following amendments:

- Amend the 1992 Constitution to continue to fully and more deeply institutionalize the policy of promoting socialist democracy, ensuring that all State power belongs to the people.

In addition to continuing to affirm the Party's leadership position and role in relation to the State and society, it is necessary to demonstrate more deeply and comprehensively the Party's nature in the Constitution to see the Party's great historical role and mission through the revolutionary stages, so that the people trust and entrust the Party with its leadership role. At the same time, the Constitution needs to stipulate the Party's responsibility to be closely attached to the people and subject to their supervision.

- Amend the 1992 Constitution to continue promoting the human factor, more deeply expressing the viewpoint of protecting and respecting human rights, and ensuring better implementation of citizens' basic rights and obligations.

Economic sectors operating under the law are all important components of the economy, equal before the law, developing together in the long term, cooperating and competing healthily. In which, the State economy plays a leading role; the collective economy is constantly consolidated and developed; the State economy, together with the collective economy, is increasingly becoming a solid foundation of the national economy. Continuing to inherit the land ownership regime that was affirmed in the 1980 Constitution and the 1992 Constitution. At the same time, it is necessary to clarify a number of principled issues such as: The State is the representative of the owner; regulating the rights of the owner of land (possession, use, disposal); Clearly define the rights of land owners and the rights of land users... Institutionalize the Platform on cultural, social, educational, scientific, technological, and environmental issues in the Constitution to suit the new situation.

At the same time, continue to study options on specific models of constitutional protection agencies, suitable to the conditions of our country.

- Amending the Constitution to actively and proactively integrate internationally

II. Summary of the implementation of the Central Resolution 7 (9th term) on "Continuing to innovate land policies and laws in the period of promoting industrialization and modernization of the country"

1. Status of implementation of the Resolution

The guiding viewpoints and policy orientations of the Resolution have been institutionalized and through practical implementation have proven to be basically correct, consistent with the characteristics and socio-economic development situation of the country. The Resolution has had a positive impact, creating changes in the land sector, enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of state management of land, exploiting land potential to serve socio-economic development goals, ensuring national defense, security, social stability, national food security, ecological balance, environmental protection; contributing an important source of revenue to the state budget.

In addition to the achieved results, there are still some limitations and weaknesses such as: State management of land is still limited and inadequate. Land use planning is not of high quality, not synchronized with specialized planning, inter-regional and inter-provincial connectivity and planning management is still weak. Legal regulations on land still have some contents that do not meet the requirements of land management and use. The mechanism for implementing the State's decision-making rights as a representative of land owners has not been clarified and the interests between the State, investors and land users have not been resolved harmoniously. The rights and obligations of land users are not clear enough and there are many problems. Discipline and order in land management and use are not strict. The settlement of complaints, denunciations and disputes on land has not met the requirements, leading to many cases having to be resolved at many levels, being prolonged and complicated. Land resources have not been fully exploited to become an important internal force serving the country's socio-economic development. The organizational structure and capacity of land management staff have not met the requirements for task performance, especially at the grassroots level...

2. Guiding viewpoints and orientations for continuing to innovate land policies and laws

Guiding view

Land is an extremely valuable national resource, a special means of production; a great asset and resource of the country; land use rights are special goods. In the coming time, we will continue to inherit the guiding viewpoints on land policies and laws stated in Resolution 7 of the Central Committee (9th term), and at the same time, we will supplement and develop them to meet the new requirements set out in Resolution 11 of the Party Congress.

Orientation to continue innovating and perfecting land policies and laws

- Continue to affirm that land belongs to the entire people's ownership regime, with the State as the representative owner and unified manager.

- The allocation of agricultural land for use by households and individuals is carried out in accordance with the 1993 Land Law and Decree No. 64/CP dated September 27, 1993 of the Government, without raising the issue of readjusting agricultural land allocated to households and individuals.

- Continue to regulate the time limit for allocating agricultural land to households and individuals and extend it further than current regulations.

- Regulations on the limit for receiving transfer of agricultural land use rights, but it is necessary to increase the limit, pay attention to the characteristics of each region, suitable for each stage and assign the Government to specify regulations.

- Continue to innovate financial policies on land. The State proactively regulates land prices in the market based on supply-demand relations; reviews tax laws related to land and real estate, tax incentives to ensure fairness, nurture revenue sources, encourage economical and effective land use, overcome the situation of slow use or abandonment of allocated or leased land; regulate the added value from land that is not created by the user.

- The State proactively reclaims land according to planning to create "clean" land funds, invest in infrastructure projects, projects serving public interests and organize auctions of land use rights.

- It is necessary to strictly comply with the law on complaints, denunciations, administrative proceedings and civil proceedings. Competent authorities must promote responsibility, focus on promptly and thoroughly resolving disputes, complaints and denunciations on land in accordance with the provisions of law; strengthen the land inspection system and courts at all levels to meet the implementation of tasks. Promote administrative procedure reform and improve the capacity of state management of land.

- Important issues that are not clear enough, and during the discussion there are still different opinions such as: the time limit for allocating agricultural land to households and individuals; the limit for receiving agricultural land use rights; the rights of land users; land prices; land recovery, compensation, resettlement support; the issue of creating resources from land... will continue to be studied, so that at the 6th Central Conference, we can consider and issue a new Resolution to guide the amendment of the 2003 Land Law.

III. Summary of 5 years of implementing Resolution 3 of the Central Committee (10th tenure) on "Strengthening the Party's leadership in the work of preventing and combating corruption and waste" and "Perfecting the organization and improving the quality of operations of the Central Steering Committee on preventing and combating corruption"

1. Assessment of the implementation of the Resolution

Results achieved

- After 5 years of implementation, with the efforts of the entire political system and society, the attention and leadership of the Party and State, there have been positive changes in both awareness and action in preventing and combating corruption and waste (PCTN, LP).

- The work of anti-corruption and waste has achieved initial results. In some areas, corruption and waste have been gradually controlled.

- The results achieved are of great significance for continuing to implement more effectively the work of anti-corruption and waste prevention. These results also affirm that the policies and solutions of the Party and State stipulated in the Resolution 3 of the Central Committee, the Law on Anti-corruption, the Law on Practicing Thrift (THTK), and Anti-Wastefulness (CLP) are fundamentally correct and appropriate.

Limitations and shortcomings

- The work of preventing and combating corruption and waste in general and the implementation of Resolution 3 of the Central Committee in particular in recent years have not yet met the requirements and goals set out to prevent and gradually push back corruption and waste.

- Corruption and waste still occur seriously in many fields and activities, causing resentment in society and posing a major challenge to the Party's leadership and State management.

The above limitations and weaknesses have objective causes, but mainly the following subjective causes:

Firstly, many Party committees, authorities and heads of agencies, organizations and units have not yet promoted their leadership and direction in the work of anti-corruption and anti-corruption. The role of many Party cells and grassroots Party organizations in the fight against corruption and anti-corruption is still vague. The implementation of the principles of democratic centralism, self-criticism and criticism in many places is not serious. A large number of cadres and Party members have degraded in political ideology, ethics and lifestyle, lacked self-cultivation and training, reduced fighting spirit, forgot their responsibilities and duties to the Party and the people; discipline and discipline are not strict. Some leaders and managers at all levels and sectors, including the Central level, have not set an example in ethics and lifestyle and have not been determined in the fight against corruption and anti-corruption.

Second, the mechanisms and policies on socio-economic management in many fields still have loopholes, inadequacies, lack of publicity, transparency and consistency; the situation of "asking - giving", especially in resource allocation, has not been overcome.

Third, some regulations on PCTN and LP are not suitable, lack consistency, and are not strict enough, so their effectiveness is limited.

Fourth, the organization and operation of specialized agencies and units on PCTN are not strong enough and their presence is not reasonable.

2. Goals, guiding viewpoints, tasks and solutions

Goals and guiding principles

Thoroughly grasp and effectively implement the Resolution of the 11th Party Congress and the Resolution of the 4th Central Committee (11th tenure) "Some urgent issues on Party building at present"; continue to synchronously implement the goals, viewpoints and solutions stated in the Resolution of the 3rd Central Committee (10th tenure) on strengthening the Party's leadership over anti-corruption and anti-corruption work with a spirit of determination, perseverance, continuity and compliance with the law to create new changes in anti-corruption and anti-corruption work.

Tasks and solutions to prevent and combat corruption and waste

In the coming time, it is necessary to synchronously implement tasks and solutions for PCTN and LP, focusing on implementing the following key tasks and solutions:

- Enhance the role and responsibility of Party committees at all levels, authorities, and leaders in preventing and combating corruption and waste.

The Party's leadership and the State's management are the decisive factors for the success of the fight against corruption and negative practices. Party committees, authorities and leaders at all levels must truly consider the fight against corruption and negative practices as a key task to focus on leading and directing. Link the implementation of Resolution 3 of the 10th Central Committee with the implementation of Resolution 4 of the 11th Central Committee.

Regular meetings of Party committees and Party organizations must include the content of anti-corruption and anti-corruption. Party secretaries and heads of government at all levels must be truly exemplary and spend appropriate time leading and directing anti-corruption and anti-corruption work. Provincial and municipal Party committees need to select and arrange cadres with capacity, courage and moral qualities to directly do this work; at the same time, strengthen inspection and listen to reports from agencies with anti-corruption and anti-corruption functions to give timely direction. Where conditions permit, Party committee members should be appointed as Deputy Heads of the Provincial Steering Committee for Anti-corruption.

The Party's inspection agency closely coordinates with the State's anti-corruption agencies to inspect, monitor, detect, promptly handle and publicize the results of handling organizations, cadres and party members who violate the law. Inspect, review and evaluate the roles and responsibilities of Party committees, authorities and leaders in anti-corruption and anti-corruption work.

- Continue to improve institutions on socio-economic management to prevent and combat corruption and waste.

In the management and use of land, resources and minerals, it is necessary to promptly amend and supplement the Land Law and related laws in the direction of increasing publicity and transparency in the management and use of land, resources and minerals (planning, recovery, compensation, land allocation, land lease, valuation, auction of land use rights, rights to exploit resources and minerals, etc.). Research and develop a mechanism to separate the right to allocate land and grant licenses to exploit resources and minerals from the right to value land and value resources and minerals of local authorities to prevent negativity and corruption.

Complete regulations to manage and strictly control budget revenue and expenditure. Strictly control public spending, especially public procurement and investment; regular expenditures; norms and standards in production and consumption; and exploitation of natural resources.

In the management and use of state capital and assets in enterprises. Perfect the management institutions of state-owned enterprises and enterprises with state capital; properly implement the rights and responsibilities of state owners regarding state capital and assets in enterprises; strictly implement auditing and financial transparency. Continue to promote the equitization of state-owned enterprises.

In the field of credit and banking. Complete regulations to strictly control credit activities that are prone to negativity and corruption such as: lending, guarantees, financial leasing, financial investment, loan entrustment, investment entrustment... Quickly develop regulations to implement Decision No. 2453/QD-TTG dated December 27, 2011 of the Prime Minister on promoting non-cash payments to control and prevent corruption.

In the relationship between state agencies and people and businesses. It is necessary to focus on strongly reforming administrative procedures to create simplicity, publicity and transparency in transactions and communication in areas prone to negativity and corruption. Effectively implement Decision No. 263/QD-TTg dated March 5, 2012 of the Prime Minister on the plan to review key administrative procedures in 2012 in the fields of investment, land and construction.

- Continue to improve mechanisms and policies on organization and personnel work to prevent and combat corruption and waste.

Implement democracy, publicity and transparency in personnel work, especially in the stages of recruitment, planning, appointment, transfer, rotation, evaluation, reward, discipline... There should be specific regulations to be able to transfer and replace leaders and managers who have many public opinions, signs of corruption, reduced prestige, and do not meet the requirements of the task (including taking unusual votes of confidence). Have specific regulations and implement uniformly throughout the country the policy of not arranging a number of positions of officials at the provincial and district levels to be local people. Strictly implement regulations on transparency of assets and income of officials, civil servants and public employees. Study and promulgate regulations on controlling the income of people with positions and powers. Amend the Law on Anti-Corruption and other related documents to implement the public disclosure of asset declaration results at the workplace and place of residence as required by Resolution 4 of the Central Committee (11th term). Gradually expand the scope of declaration and public disclosure of asset declaration results of cadres, party members, and civil servants; stipulate responsibility for explaining the origin of assets to increase according to the requirements of Resolution 3 of the Central Committee. Research and stipulate the proactive inspection and verification of asset declaration results of cadre and civil servant management agencies for those under their management to ensure the honesty of declarations. Ministries and branches urgently and seriously develop codes of conduct for cadres and civil servants in weddings, funerals, housewarmings, birthday celebrations, receiving degrees, academic titles, emulation titles, and rewards.

Gradually implement the salary regime in the direction of ensuring that civil servants and public employees have their main source of income from salary, live on salary and have a decent standard of living in society. Research and define more clearly the functions, tasks, powers and operating mechanisms of agencies and units with anti-corruption functions, ensuring to avoid overlap and vacancies, and at the same time have close coordination in implementing anti-corruption tasks. Continue to improve the Central Steering Committee and the Provincial Anti-corruption Steering Committee in the spirit of the 10th Congress Resolution, Central Resolution 3 (10th tenure) and Central Resolution 4 (11th tenure).

- Continue to improve institutions and strengthen inspection, auditing, investigation, prosecution and trial work to improve the effectiveness of corruption and waste prevention and control work.

Urgently complete regulations on judicial appraisal, especially financial appraisal, appraisal of quality of construction investment projects... to promptly and effectively serve the handling of corruption. Study and implement necessary measures to limit the ability of subjects with signs of corruption to respond when being inspected and examined, causing difficulties for the operations of competent agencies. Amend criminal law in the direction of increasing fines, exempting or reducing penalties for subjects who commit acts of corruption but have proactively reported and overcome the consequences. Have regulations to minimize the release of suspects on bail during the investigation of acts of corruption and the application of suspended prison sentences for subjects who commit corruption crimes.

In addition to proactive prevention, it is necessary to further promote the detection and strict handling of corruption acts. Speed ​​up the handling of serious and complicated corruption cases that the public is concerned about. For serious and complicated corruption cases, the Party Committee should proactively request the Steering Committee for Anti-Corruption and relevant agencies to report so that the handling policy can be ensured to be urgent and in accordance with the law.

Focus on inspection, examination and audit of a number of key areas such as: land use management, mineral exploitation; investment, public procurement; budget revenue and expenditure; public asset management; commercial banking system and personnel work.

Strengthen inspection and supervision of inspection, prosecution, investigation, prosecution, and adjudication of corruption cases. Enhance publicity and transparency in operations and ensure integrity among staff of inspection, examination, audit, investigation, prosecution, and adjudication agencies. Resolutely and promptly handle acts of corruption in anti-corruption agencies and units and those who cover up corruption and obstruct the fight against corruption.

Strengthen inspection and examination of compliance with the law on THTK and CLP for agencies and organizations using the State budget and assets and enterprises using natural resources. Strictly handle organizations and individuals who violate and cause waste.

The Central Steering Committee needs to closely coordinate with the Party Building Committees at the Central level to monitor, guide, direct, inspect, and urge the anti-corruption work of the Party executive committees, Party committees, provincial Party committees, and city Party committees directly under the Central Committee.

- Strengthen the supervisory role of elected bodies and people in preventing and combating corruption and waste.

The National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels need to strengthen regular supervision of anti-corruption and waste prevention activities, first of all, supervision of the activities of agencies with anti-corruption and waste prevention functions, thereby requesting competent agencies, organizations and individuals to effectively implement anti-corruption and waste prevention measures. Take measures to ensure the supervision activities of the National Assembly and People's Councils at all levels are more effective. Promote the role of the Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations, professional associations, communities and people in detecting and combating corruption and waste. Issue regulations on people's supervision of party organizations and party members. Take measures to protect the safety and promptly commend and reward cadres, party members and people who bravely denounce and detect acts of corruption and waste, and collectives and individuals with achievements in fighting corruption and waste. Continue to promote propaganda and education work and have correct communication policies on the situation of corruption, waste and anti-corruption and anti-waste work; promote the role and responsibility of the press in anti-corruption and anti-waste.

Urgently specify the monitoring mechanism of the Fatherland Front and its member organizations on anti-corruption and anti-corruption work.

3. On "Improving the organization and improving the quality of operations of the Central Steering Committee on anti-corruption"

The Central Executive Committee reached a high consensus and decided on a plan to improve the Central and local Steering Committees for Anti-Corruption:

At the Central level: The Central Steering Committee on anti-corruption is under the Politburo, consisting of a number of Politburo members, headed by the General Secretary. The Politburo will consider and select other members of the Steering Committee as appropriate, clearly defining the functions, tasks and powers of the Steering Committee, the standing body of the Steering Committee (Central Internal Affairs Committee) on anti-corruption.

At the local level: No provincial or municipal Steering Committees on anti-corruption are organized. Provincial and municipal Party Committees directly lead the work of anti-corruption and waste prevention and are responsible for coordinating with the Central Steering Committee when serious corruption cases occur in the locality. Re-establish the Internal Affairs Committee in provincial and municipal Party Committees to advise Party committees on internal affairs and anti-corruption and waste prevention and control. The Politburo will consider and make specific decisions according to the Central's direction.

IV. Some issues on social policy for the period 2012 - 2020

Over the past decades, our Party and State have always paid attention to building and implementing social policies. This is both the goal and the driving force of sustainable development and socio-political stability, demonstrating the good nature of our regime. However, up to now, the social sector still has many limitations and weaknesses, and the results achieved are still low and unsustainable. Resources for implementing social policies are still limited, relying mainly on the state budget, and have not attracted much participation from society.

The Resolution of the 11th Party Congress affirmed: "Correct and fair social policies for the people are a strong driving force to promote all creative capacities of the people in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland". At the same time, it has set out the orientation for comprehensive development of all social fields. Thoroughly grasp the Resolution of the Party, promote the achievements and efforts of the entire political system; perfect the institutional system, mobilize and appropriately balance resources; synchronously and effectively implement social policies to continuously improve the welfare and material and spiritual life of the people, strive to achieve the social development goals and targets set out in the Resolution of the 11th Party Congress.

Unify the management of programs and policies in the direction that the Government and central ministries and branches only manage targets, guide implementation, inspect, check and supervise implementation; localities are responsible for managing resources and organizing implementation. Improve the capacity to implement policies at the grassroots level. Modernize management and payment methods; Build a household database, personal identification number and social security index to manage, monitor and evaluate the implementation of social security policies in each period, and build a national report on social security.

- Promote cooperation, mobilize resources and international experience in building and implementing social security policies.

V. On “Some issues on wages and directions for wage reform until 2020”

1. On situation assessment and orientation to 2020

On assessing the situation

Since 2003, the policy on wages, social insurance and preferential allowances for meritorious people has been gradually improved, contributing to improving the lives of wage earners, retirees and meritorious people.

However, the policy on wages, social insurance and preferential allowances for meritorious people still shows many limitations such as: Low wages for many years, affecting the lives of wage earners, retirees, meritorious people and the quality and efficiency of public service activities. The wages of some state-owned enterprises are high, with an unreasonable difference between the salaries of management officials and employees in enterprises and officials and civil servants. Solutions to create resources for wage reform and social allowances, especially in the public sector, have not met requirements.

On the orientation of salary policy reform until 2020

Reforming wage policy requires political determination in promulgating and implementing policies, especially in the public sector; restructuring the state budget; strictly controlling and striving to reduce the number of beneficiaries of salaries and allowances from the state budget; paying salaries according to job positions, improving the quality and efficiency of public service activities; strictly managing payroll in conjunction with administrative reform and reorganizing the apparatus.

- Regarding minimum wage: Adjust the minimum wage according to the roadmap associated with innovation in career activities, in line with the economic capacity to ensure the minimum needs of wage earners. For the business sector, adjust the minimum wage faster to reach the minimum needs by 2015.
