HÀ NỘI – A book highlighting the National Assembly in the Đổi mới (renewal) process to meet the requirements of building a socialist rule-of-law Vietnamese State by Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng was unveiled in Hà Nội on Tuesday.

The event was co-hosted by the NA Standing Committee, the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Information and Education, and the Sự Thật (Truth) National Political Publishing House.

Divided into three parts, the book features 95 articles, speeches and interviews by the Party leader, including those that he wrote during the time he served as chairman of the NA and directly led the revision of the Constitution and promulgation of the 2013 Constitution. It also includes 57 opinions from officials, Party members, intellectuals, NA deputies and voters nationwide, and international friends, offering their perspectives on the Party leader’s leadership and direction.

Speaking at the event, NA Chairman Trần Thanh Mẫn highlighted that the Party leader had served as chairman of the NA in the 11th and 12th tenures, and had been an NA deputy for many consecutive terms since 2002. He has paid great attention to the reform of the organisation and operation of the NA, contributing to the building and perfection of a socialist rule-of-law Vietnamese State.

Party General Secretary Trọng’s scientific analyses and important directives help clarify the Party’s theory on the socialist rule-of-law State and hold important orienting values in building the socialist law-governed Vietnamese State of the people, by the people, and for the people, Mẫn said.

He stressed that the book holds profound theoretical and practical value and will be a valuable resource for Party committees, Party organisations, officials, Party members, and the public to better grasp the Party’s guiding viewpoint regarding building a socialist rule-of-law state and the organisation and role of the legislature. This will enable them to make greater contributions to Việt Nam’s renewal process and the national goal of “a wealthy people, a strong country, democracy, justice and civilisation”.
