The NA Chairman said that for the first time, the committee will review and comment on the dossier of the Law on People's Air Defence, a new law to institutionalise the Party's viewpoint on the national defence strategy in the new situation approved in Resolution 44-NQ/TW dated November 24 last year at the eighth plenum of the 13th Party Central Committee.

The NA Standing Committee will also opine on a draft resolution of the NA Standing Committee regarding job positions for full-time NA deputies and cadres and civil servants under the NA Standing Committee’s management to serve the salary reform.

The top legislator called the salary policy reform, to start from July 1, a critically important task, adding that following this two-day session, the NA Standing Committee will convene other meetings on the issue apart from regular sessions in April and May./.
