On the morning of June 28, at the 7th Session, the 15th National Assembly passed the Law on the Capital (amended) with a very high consensus rate. This is an important legal corridor that creates momentum for the Capital to develop quickly and sustainably, but more importantly, it is the organization of implementation to put the Law into practice with high efficiency and effectiveness.
Determined to concretize many large contents
Hanoi, a special urban area with a thousand-year history of culture, heroism and creativity, has had its position determined since the 1946 Constitution and the current Constitution (2013) clearly stated: "The capital of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is Hanoi". In the process of development, the capital Hanoi has always received attention, guidance and a special legal corridor from the Party, the National Assembly and the State. In November 2012, the National Assembly passed and promulgated the Capital Law (Capital Law 2012). After 9 years of implementation, there have been major results, resolving practical concerns and creating favorable conditions for the capital to be worthy of its position and role as determined.
In the new context of determining the development direction and tasks until 2030, with a vision to 2045, in May 2022, the Politburo issued Resolution 15/NQ-TW. In order to institutionalize the Resolution, Hanoi has proactively coordinated with central ministries and branches to study and amend and supplement the 2012 Capital Law. The process of careful and scientific research according to 9 specific policy groups has been identified, widely consulted, focused on intelligence and achieved high consensus. The Capital Law (amended) was passed by the 15th National Assembly, 7th Session. This is not only a milestone, a particularly important law with profound socio-political significance for the Capital but also for the whole country.
The Law on the Capital (amended) passed this time has inherited the quintessence of the Law on the Capital 2012, defining the characteristics and privileges for Hanoi, decentralizing and delegating more power to the city associated with the great responsibility to the region, the whole country and international integration. In order for the Law on the Capital (amended) to come into life, realizing the vision and development aspirations that the people of the Capital, the whole country and international friends expect, it is necessary to have new and breakthrough thinking, mobilizing the combined strength in organizing and implementing in the coming time.
First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to propaganda work to raise awareness of the Capital Law, policies on construction and development of the Capital, responsibilities of all levels, sectors and localities in implementing the Capital Law. The 2012 Capital Law was issued with 4 chapters and 27 articles. This time, the revised Capital Law has increased to 7 chapters and 54 articles. It mentions specific contents such as: organization of urban government; construction, development, management and protection of the Capital; finance, budget and mobilization of development resources; regional development linkage; supervision, inspection and responsibility; implementation organization and transitional regulations.
Each of the above contents has specific policies, so it is necessary to propagate and disseminate widely not only in the press and media but also specifically to each locality, political-social and professional organizations, the People, State agencies at the Central, City and even provinces in the region to have consensus. Thereby helping to orient public opinion, improve understanding and sense of responsibility.
In particular, the City needs to thoroughly understand and disseminate the Law and detailed documents guiding its implementation to Party committees at all levels, authorities at all levels, organizations and the People in various forms such as conferences, seminars, talks, and document distribution... Through the process of organizing the implementation of the 2012 Capital Law, the City has organized the dissemination and dissemination of the Law with many results. However, with the diversity and large volume of content of this Law, it is necessary to be more specific and drastic.
At the same time, develop a specific plan to complete and synchronize the documents guiding the implementation of the Law. After promulgating the 2012 Capital Law, 34 documents specifying and guiding the implementation of the Law were issued by the Ministry, the People's Council, and the City People's Committee in time for the Law to take effect. In the revised Capital Law this time, a much larger volume of documents specifying the specific content is needed (about 80 documents). The People's Council needs to issue more than 50 documents specifying specific content (the 2012 Capital Law only has 12 documents), the City People's Committee needs to issue more than 15 documents (the 2012 Capital Law only has 3 documents).
In addition, it is necessary for relevant ministries and branches to issue about 5 documents. This is a task that the City has paid attention to in drafting a plan, but with a large volume and the specificity of each field, it is necessary to review to mobilize forces to participate in timely research for the Law to take effect with 2 time frames: January 1, 2025 and July 1, 2025. In addition to the participation and leadership of specialized units, it is necessary to mobilize forces from the Vietnam Fatherland Front and its member organizations, professional social organizations, and experts to participate in research and appraisal to achieve high quality.
Synchronous implementation of planning
In particular, to concretize the Law on the Capital (amended), it is necessary to synchronously implement major plans. Along with the specific legal framework of the Law on the Capital, in order to have a strategic vision, promote potential, create new development momentum and resources for the Capital, it is necessary to form a planning system for two key plans: the Capital Planning for the period 2021 - 2030, vision to 2050 and Adjustment of the Capital Master Plan to 2045, vision to 2065.
Recently, the city has proactively organized research to establish 2 plans, which have been reviewed by the Politburo and have Conclusion No. 80-KL/TW dated May 24, 2024, agreeing on the viewpoints, goals, visions and main contents of the plans, while also emphasizing 7 urgent issues to complete, submit to competent authorities for consideration, comments and approval of the plans. The National Assembly Standing Committee has also reviewed and commented.
Completing the orientation to specify the organization of space, scale, population distribution... is to realize the specific policies defined in the Capital Law, so it is necessary to soon complete the 2 plans for approval, and at the same time develop a plan to synchronously implement the planning system according to the provisions of the Planning Law and the Construction Law.
The Capital Law has determined that the construction and management of the development of the Capital must be carried out according to 2 plans and 7 measures must be deployed to ensure the implementation of the plan, with priority given to organizing the zoning plan of the Red River and Duong River, determining environmental zoning, functional zoning and specialized planning of technical infrastructure, locations that need to be relocated... Specific contents according to the above requirements are shown in the plan. This is an important task that needs to be carried out in parallel with the concretization of the Capital Law, so that by the time the Law comes into effect, there will be a synchronous basis for implementation.
The newly passed Capital Law has mentioned the synchronization of economic - cultural - social fields. Not only inheriting the essence of the Capital Law 2012, but also mentioning many new issues such as: underground space, the capital's science and technology focus, innovation of the capital's city model, controlled testing, urban development oriented towards public transport (TOD model), venture investment...
These are issues that Hanoi has initially researched, but there are currently many different approaches, so it is necessary to clarify them right in the stage of concretizing the Capital Law. The city needs to pay attention to having favorable policies, creating conditions to mobilize the capital's intellectual potential to participate in promoting scientific research and building documents to concretize the Law issued by the People's Council and People's Committee of the city with high efficiency and practicality.
The Capital Law (amended) is a legal corridor that demonstrates a new vision and new thinking with the spirit of "The whole country for Hanoi, Hanoi for the whole country". Organizing the implementation of the Capital Law into life is contributing to realizing the vision and aspiration to develop a "Cultured - Civilized - Modern" Capital.
