Speaking at the event, Vice Chairman of the Vietnamese National Assembly (NA) Nguyen Khac Dinh affirmed that the Constitution is a political and legal document, a fundamental law, and a root legislation of each country.

It is enacted to record the achievements of a country's struggles for noble values for national independence and self-reliance, assert the sovereignty of the people, guarantee human rights and social justice, and define forms and mechanisms of operation of each state entity.

Therefore, he said, amending and supplementing the Constitution is a significant task for every nation. Each time the amendment and supplementation is carried out, it is an occasion to look back on and evaluate the journey a country has passed, and select, inherit, and develop essence values to serve the national development in the next phase.

This work requires a reformed mindset, organization, and operation of all components that make up a country's political system to meet national development requirements and people's expectations, the Vice Chairman stressed.

He also shared more information about the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV)'s guidelines on the Constitution drafting, promulgation, revision, and supplementation, the Party's viewpoint and orientation for this work, along the enforcement of the Constitution in reality.

Other Vietnamese delegates presented speeches on the CPV’s thoughts and viewpoints on the Constitution building, the political system, the principles of state power organization, human rights, rights and obligations of citizens, and the state apparatus.

Thanking Nguyen Khac Dinh and the Vietnamese delegates for their information, Chaleun Yiapaoher stressed that the Constitution amendment experiences that Vietnam shared this time were important lessons for the National Committee for the Amendment of the Constitution of Laos.

Applying these lessons and experiences will help Laos secure rich and coherent content for its 2015 Constitution after amendment, thus ensuring the organization and operation of the Lao Party and State apparatus, and serving the rights and interests of the Lao people.
