On September 17, at the National Assembly House, Politburo member and Chairman of the National Assembly Tran Thanh Man and Politburo member and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh co-chaired a conference between the National Assembly Party Delegation and the Government Party Personnel Committee on the 8th Session of the 15th National Assembly.
Speaking at the conference, the National Assembly Chairman emphasized that the 8th Session is expected to have the largest volume of work submitted to the National Assembly for consideration and decision since the beginning of the 15th term.
The 8th session of the 15th National Assembly will open on October 21, 2024 and is expected to close on the morning of December 3, 2024. The session will be held in two phases: phase 1 from October 21 to November 12, 2024; phase 2 from November 20 to December 3, 2024.
The National Assembly will consider 39 contents, including 29 contents on legislative work, 10 groups of contents on socio-economics, state budget, supervision, personnel and decide on other important issues under its authority.
In the current context, the National Assembly Chairman especially noted that the recent storm No. 3 had very complicated developments, left very serious consequences and up to this point, the full extent of the damage has not been fully calculated.
Our entire Party, people and army are facing new difficulties and challenges. The Government must face additional difficulties and pressures in budget collection and expenditure, achieving growth targets, ensuring macroeconomic stability of the economy, controlling inflation and price increases to ensure people's livelihood.
Therefore, the Party Delegation of the National Assembly and the Party Central Committee of the Government continue to coordinate substantively, effectively, and institutionally in a timely manner, meeting practical requirements for socio-economic development, ensuring people's lives and promoting growth.
Considering that the time to implement the 5-year socio-economic plan is only over 1 year away, and the impact of storm No. 3 is very severe, the National Assembly Chairman requested that difficulties and problems arising need to be promptly handled.
Any issues that the Government manages will be decided by the Government. Any issues that are beyond the Government's authority will be consulted with the National Assembly Standing Committee and the National Assembly.
"The quality of a law or resolution must first come from the drafting agency, the appraisal agency and the Government.
When the Government submits this, the responsibility of the examining agencies, the National Assembly Standing Committee, the Vice Chairmen of the National Assembly, and the Chairman of the National Assembly must work continuously, ensuring smooth and substantive coordination to achieve the highest efficiency," the Chairman of the National Assembly emphasized.
The National Assembly Chairman also noted that the heads of ministries and branches need to follow through with draft laws and resolutions to the end.
Regarding this content, the National Assembly Chairman noted that it is necessary to change the mindset and approach in law-making, ensure simplification, increase decentralization, and accelerate progress... so that the issues that are not unified or have not been agreed upon between the reviewing and drafting agencies will be carried out in the spirit of "however difficult, we will solve it".
