The National Assembly Chairman said that the atmosphere of the parliament, the discussions in groups, and the National Assembly deputies had lively, democratic, frank, and profound discussions, objectively and comprehensively reflecting practical issues.
Through the first session of the session, delegate Nguyen Thi Tuyet Nga (Quang Binh delegation) commented that the legislative work was carried out to ensure that the laws and resolutions passed by the National Assembly were of high quality; giving the Government the initiative and flexibility in the organization process, linking the law-making and law enforcement to achieve the highest efficiency.
The delegates affirmed that the National Assembly made objective and comprehensive assessments, focusing on major issues, important results, shortcomings and limitations; proposed practical and effective solutions... to promote resources, take advantage of development opportunities, and successfully carry out the socio-economic development tasks for the 2021-2025 period.
The National Assembly sticks to reality and listens to voters' opinions
The 8th session completed the question and answer session on groups of issues in 3 areas: Banking, healthcare, information and communication. In addition to the direct speaking of the sector commanders, the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Ministers in charge of the sector and many members of the Government made statements and explanations to clarify many contents.
The question and answer session was also highly appreciated by the public. Many delegates said that the issues raised had touched on “bottlenecks” that, if not thoroughly and promptly addressed, would naturally become an obstacle to development, not only in the chosen field for questioning but also in many other areas of the country’s socio-economic life.
Delegate Hoang Van Cuong (Hanoi Delegation) assessed that the National Assembly Chairman conducted the question-and-answer session smoothly, grasped the spirit of the delegates and directed some contents for the industry commanders to answer clearly, focusing on the main points. For any issues and contents that are not in the group of questions, the chairman suggested switching to written answers to focus on the right topic of this question-and-answer session that was set out in advance.
The National Assembly Chairman also requested the ministers and heads of sectors to explain and clarify any issues that have not been answered by the delegates, in order to meet the requests of the National Assembly delegates and interested voters.
Delegate Le Thi Song An (Long An Delegation) acknowledged that these questions are topical and have a great impact on the people and the Government's management work. The selection of these groups of issues also shows that the National Assembly has closely followed reality and listened to the opinions of voters and the people. The ministers also frankly faced the issues, without beating around the bush or avoiding them.
