The Committee for Drafting Amendments to the 1992 Constitution met for the eighth time in Hanoi on September 7 to review the latest proposed changes to the nation’s constitution, including economic components, land reclamation, the role of local authorities and the need for a Constitutional Council.
Addressing the event, National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung said feedback on the required draft amendments has been received by members of the public, scientists, experts and NA deputies.
Changes have been made in light of this feedback in a scientific and democratic manner and submitted to the National Assembly, he said, adding that the whole process has taken place with due care and attention.
In that spirit, Chairman Hung, who also chairs over the Committee, urged members to contribute more comments on the revised Constitution, focusing on the content that remains controversial, while continuing to collect public opinions.

It has been heavily emphasised that this is an important political activity for the entire people, Party and political system.
