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.
