The Ministry of Industry and Trade has proposed the development of a comprehensive e-commerce law, outlining several major policies as follows.

First, the new law will supplement and unify existing concepts in accordance with current legal regulations. It will clearly define terms such as digital platforms, intermediary digital platforms, and other relevant concepts to ensure consistency across various legal frameworks.

Second, the proposed law will specify forms of e-commerce operations and identify  participants involved in these activities, along with their respective rights and obligations. This comprehensive approach aims to encompass all e-commerce models and participants, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of regulatory implementation.

Third, the law will stipulate responsibilities of e-commerce support service providers. This is intended to create a framework for competent state management agencies to implement technical measures, preventing the dissemination of information about goods and services that violate e-commerce regulations.

Fourth, the new law will establish provisions for electronic contract authentication services. This aims to ensure fair treatment for various types of trusted service providers and facilitate the rapid detection and handling of legal violations related to electronic contracts.

Fifth, the law will also focus on the construction and development of sustainable e-commerce practices. This regulation will promote green and sustainable growth, contributing to effective economic development, creating value for the community, fostering a fair society, and minimizing negative environmental impacts.

The ministry plans to include this proposal in the National Assembly's law and ordinance development program for 2025. It will be submitted to the National Assembly for consideration and feedback during the 10th session (October 2025) and is expected to be approved at the 11th session (May 2026).
