Hanoi (VNA) – The 14th National Assembly discussed
the draft Law on amendments and supplements to several articles of the Law on Natural
Disaster Prevention and Control and Dykes Law during an online ninth session in
Hanoi on May 28.
Presenting a report on collecting feedback on
the draft Law, Chairman of the NA’s Committee on Science, Technology,
Environment Phan Xuan Dung said a majority of deputies agree with the need to
