During the sixth session, the parliament is scheduled to consider and vote on nine draft laws and one draft resolution. Eight other draft laws will also come under consideration.

It will make decisions about several socio-economic issues, including the implementation results of the socio-economic development and state budget plans for 2023, and the socio-economic development, state budget estimation, and central budget allocation plans for 2024. It will also look into the mid-term reports on the implementation of the socio-economic development, medium-term public investment, national finance, and public debt plans for 2021 - 2025.

The NA will scrutinise reports on judicial affairs and the Government’s reports on the prevention and control of corruption, crimes, and law violations, along with judgment enforcement in 2023.

Question-and-answer activities will be held to clarify Government members and sector leaders’ responsibility towards the implementation of some of the 14th and 15th-tenure NA’s resolutions.

Specialised supervision will be conducted over the implementation of the NA’s resolutions on the national target programmes on new-style rural area building for 2021 - 2025, sustainable poverty reduction for 2021 - 2025, and socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas for 2021 - 2030.
