The plan assigned tasks to ministries, ministerial-level, and government agencies to ensure the timely, synchronous, and effective realization of the resolution.
Ministries and agencies will review legal documents to find those that are no longer suitable or are contrary to regulations of the resolution, and propose necessary adjustments, supplements, or the issuing of new ones to replace outdated ones.
The Ministry of National Defence will coordinate with other ministries and agencies to build and submit to the Government a decree prescribing detailed regulations in connection with certain articles of the above-said resolution, according to Vietnamnet.
