According to Son, who is chairman of the municipal Council of Law Dissemination and Education, the council has actively and creatively implemented diversified forms of law dissemination and education, including applying information technology.
Pham Thi Thanh Huong, deputy director of the city’s Department of Legal Affairs, said in 2021, the department would focus on disseminating new legal documents approved by the National Assembly in 2020 and 2021 about the rights and obligations of citizens and businesses.
The department will disseminate the Law on Election of Deputies to the National Assembly and Deputies to People's Councils and its guidance, she said.
Local authorities will continue to introduce legal documents related to the city's working theme in 2021, promote law-abiding lifestyle and disseminate outstanding examples in building, complying with the laws, and legal education models, she said.

Participants at the meeting proposed diversifying forms of law dissemination and education, focusing on prisoners and specific groups.
A representative of the Department of Construction proposed removing libraries of legal books which remain irrelevant in many places.
Vice chairman of the city People's Committee Le Hong Son said the law dissemination and education activities had made positive contributions to changing public behaviours and perceptions, creating a city’s movement of strictly complying with the laws.
Following Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc’s order of preventing COVID-19 recurrence in Hanoi, vice chairman Son requested the city step up law dissemination and education online, on newspapers and TV, and avoid meetings in large crowds.
Son highlighted the necessity of maintaining libraries of legal books in Hanoi’s rural, remote and isolated areas and urged the building of electronic libraries.
