The committee is scheduled to approve several resolutions for implementing the 2024 Law on Organisation of People's Courts.

Further agenda items include considering the explanations and adjustments to the draft Law on Teachers, amendments to the draft Law on Chemicals, and a resolution clarifying certain provisions of the 2022 Law on Emulation and Commendation.

Regarding supervision matters, the committee will assess the NA's January 2025 report on citizen petition.

It is expected to convene an additional session on the afternoon of February 10 to review the investment policy for the Lao Cai – Hanoi – Hai Phong railway project, and potentially the Lao Cai – Hanoi – Lang Son route if preparations are completed in time.

Man also touched upon major issues raised by the Government during the February 4 meeting of key leaders. These matters, which relevant agencies will study and coordinate implementation within their authority, include special policies to expedite the Ninh Thuan nuclear power project, solutions to difficulties at certain BOT toll stations, and the track gauge specifications for the Lao Cai – Hanoi – Hai Phong railway./.
