Assoc. Prof Le Quoc Ly, Vice Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy ofPolitics laid stress on the significance of refining the political system ineach nation. In the past years, Vietnam and Laos have worked to step by step renewtheir political systems and renovate the Party’s leadership to build alaw-governed socialist state.
In Vietnam, functions and competence of the Party’s leadership, the State’sauthority and the surveillance of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and othersocio-political organisations have been assigned in a more specific manner.
The apparatus has been streamlined to become more efficient, Ly noted, addingthat Vietnam can learn from Laos’s management decentralisation from central tograssroots levels and personnel work in the election and appointment of stateofficials.
In addition, Laos’s streamlined political system and its capacity to createunanimity among the Party, State and people are worth studying, he said.
Meanwhile, Assoc. Prof Samut thong Som Pa Nit, Vice Director of the Lao NationalAcademy of Politics and Public Administration, highlighted that theorganization of the State apparatus as well as units in the political andadministrative system depends on working environment and living conditions ineach nation. It serves as a motive to improve the strengths of the Party, Stateand people.
Participants at the event agreed that the political systems in both nationshave changed to meet the market economy’s development and regional and internationalintegration demand.
