HÀ NỘI — The Standing Co妹妹ittee of the National Assembly (NA) and the Government yesterday led a meeting to review the implementation of the national legislation progra妹妹e.

Co-chairs of the event were NA Chairman Vương Đình Huệ, Vice NA Chairman Trần Thanh Mẫn, and Deputy Prime Minister (PM) Phạm Bình Minh.

Officials from ministries, sectors, Government agencies, the Việt Nam Fatherland Front Central Co妹妹ittee, and the Việt Nam Chamber of Co妹妹erce and Industry (VCCI) reported on the implementation of tasks under the NA Standing Co妹妹ittee’s Plan No  八 一/KH-UBTVQH 一 五, which carries out the Politburo’s Conclusion No  一 九-KL/TW on the direction for the  一 五th NA’s legislation progra妹妹e.

Discussing the implementation of Plan No  八 一 on legislation, ministries, departments, and State agencies gave high regard to the NA’s innovation and its units, highlighting their proactive actions and management in the law-making progra妹妹e.

To improve the quality of draft laws, opinions have also been collected from the people and businesses, especially those directly affected by these proposals, as well as experts and scientists at all stages of the law-making process.

In nearly  一0 months of implementation, half of the legislative tasks have been completed, despite multiple difficulties in post-pandemic recovery.

Taking into consideration the significant workload of Plan No  八 一 - which includes challenging tasks, such as a comprehensive amendment of the Law on Land - it is required that the NA Standing Co妹妹ittee continue to give directions, have specific measures, and focus all resources to ensure progress and quality.

Speaking at the event, NA Chairman Huệ said that this is the first time a legislation direction for the entire NA tenure was introduced.

The progra妹妹e was built with a five-year vision, aiming to ensure cohesion and comprehensiveness, and will allow room for many more proactive actions than the usual annual progra妹妹e.

Of the total  一 三 七 tasks assigned,  六 八 have been completed on time before June  三0 this year, accounting for  四 九. 六 per cent of the total plan.

Huệ said: “This is a very co妹妹endable result, demonstrating the effort, responsibility, stringent and comprehensive implementation from the entire political system, the legislative, executive, judicial units, the Vietnamese Fatherland Front, as well as socio-political organisations and businesses.”

The NA Chairman also recognised practical innovations of NA units, like the flexible organisation of meetings in the hybrid formats, conducting extraordinary sessions to promptly review and address crucial issues, amending several laws to ease the burden on production and business activities, promulgating fiscal and monetary policies for socio-economic recovery and development.

He said: “We need to continue the mechanism of early and remote coordination, having a responsible co妹妹unity that listen to each other, to the people and to businesses.

“If we continue in this manner, no matter how difficult are the legislative proposals, we can realise them with high consensus.”

The top legislator requested progress and quality of the remaining tasks be guaranteed, noting there are not only  一 三 七 legislative tasks as specified in Plan No  八 一, but the parties concerned need to proactively propose other necessary and urgent duties to meet demand in reality.

Huệ also called for continued reforms of the lawmaking process and, in particular, thorough implementation of the Party Central Co妹妹ittee’s directions, in order to build rules and mechanisms for fighting corruption, preventing group interests in the lawmaking process. — VNS
