What the National Assembly (NA) has achieved is partly attributable to its coordination with Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF), top legislator Nguyen Sinh Hung said.
He was speaking at a conference in Hanoi on December 29 to review collaboration between the NA Standing Committee and the Presidium of VFF Central Committee for 2014 and laying out their 2015 tasks.
Joint work made by the NA, the NA Standing Committee and VFF received support from the public, strengthening their trust in the Party leadership and the State’s policies, he said.
As 2015 is the final year when the 2011-2015 socio-economic development plan comes to an end and the Party Congresses at all levels are held in preparation for the 12th National Party Congress, the NA Chairman expected both sides to continue working together on law-making and law enforcement while improving the quality of their meetings with constituents as well as commentary on social issues.
Looking back upon 2014, the VFF launched campaigns “the whole nation unites to build cultural lifestyle in residential areas”, “Day for the Poor”, “Vietnamese prioritise Vietnamese goods”, which have won support from the NA Standing Committee, the Council of Ethnic Affairs, NA Committees and lawmakers.
The VFF has partnered with the NA Standing Committee in raising public awareness and putting Constitution into full place.
However, the VFF also admitted its shortcomings in offering less thought-out feedback on a number of bills and the settlement of constituents’ suggestions, among others.-VNA
