In his opening remarks, the top legislator highlighted the significance of the meeting, saying that law-makers will discuss the revision of 10 out of 11 draft laws that were first submitted for debate at the NA's 7th session, including the Law on Geology and Minerals, the Law on amendments and  supplements to a number of articles of the Law on Pharmacy, the Law on Trade Unions (revised), the revised Law on Human Trafficking Prevention and Control,  the revised Notary Law, the Law on Cultural Heritage (revised), the Law on Urban and Rural Planning, the Law on Fire Prevention, Fighting and Rescue, the revised Law on Value Added Tax, and the Law on Juvenile Justice.  

According to the NA Chairman, implementing the Politburo’s Conclusion No. 19-KL/TW in 2021 on the orientation of the law-building programme in the 15th NA term, the NA has so far completed 131 legislative tasks, equivalent to 83.97%.

He requested that the revision and finalisation of the above-mentioned laws should adhere closely to the agreed-upon viewpoints, goals, principles, and directions which were included in the law and ordinance building programme approved by the NA.

Noting that at the NA's 7th session, more than 200 opinions were presented during the debate on those bills, Chairman Man urged the Standing Committee to clearly report which issues have been addressed in the revised versions of the bills and which have not, as well as the reasons for any disagreements between reviewing bodies and drafting agencies.

He went on to say that NA committees had organised numerous seminars and workshops, and conducted many surveys on the draft laws, and emphasised the need to study and use the results from those events and discussions to identify the issues that need to be addressed in the finalisation of those bills.

He stated that the legislature plans to organise a forum on law-building to discuss legislative work in greater depth and detail, aiming to further improve the quality of law building work and promote the role of Party committees, government agencies, sectors, scientists, and experts in the work./.
