Delivering the closing speech, NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man highly valued the drafting and verification bodies’ preparation of documents and consideration of all opinions that NA deputies raised at the parliament’s 7th session in May-June. He also welcomed the committee members’ straightforward comments helping perfect the draft laws.
He asked the verification and drafting bodies to continue coordinating materials to be submitted to the approaching conference of full-time NA deputies, slated for August 28-30.
