Public Security Minister Lương Tam Quang has presented a proposed investment policy for a national drug and crime prevention programme covering 2026–2035 to Vietnam’s National Assembly, according to the Government News. The programme is under consideration; the presentation does not establish approval of all targets or funding.
Proposed phases and targets
The plan would operate nationwide in two stages: 2026–2030 and 2031–2035. It is intended to build on earlier programmes while bringing drug and crime prevention together within one national target programme.
One proposed objective is to reduce social-order offences by 10% annually. By 2030, the submission seeks at least 50% of commune-level and 20% of provincial-level areas to be drug-free. These are targets in the proposal, not outcomes already achieved.
The submission lists VND 45,301.261 billion for the first phase and an estimated VND 18,151.758 billion for the second. These are proposed figures and do not establish that the money has been allocated.
Committee requests further review
The National Assembly’s Law and Justice Committee broadly supported the need for investment, the government report says, but asked the drafting body to review possible overlap with other national target programmes. It sought clarity on scope, beneficiaries, locations, outputs and funding sources.
The committee also called for targets in the two phases to be checked against tasks and resources. The proposal includes treatment and rehabilitation facilities, legal assistance and equipment for prevention work.
Further examination and a decision on the investment policy remain part of the legislative process. Actual funding and results would need separate confirmation after any decision.
