Regarding the draft resolution on approving the State budget settlement for 2021, the Government was required to direct the Ministry of Finance and the State Audit to carefully review and inspect the results of the review of budget revenue and spending, respectively.

The NA Finance - Budget Committee, the Ministry of Finance, and the State Audit will coordinate to collect opinions, thus completing the draft resolution.

NA Chairman Hue said the report of explanation and acceptance should further clarify the political and legal basis, thus further studying and reviewing and finalising the draft resolution. He added that regulations on BT contracts must be really discreet to ensure consistency with the legal system.

Members of the NA Standing Committee basically agreed with the report on some issues that request opinions of the NA Standing Committee regarding the general draft resolution of the meeting; and the draft resolutions on the question-and-answer session at the 15th NA’s fifth sitting, and the establishment of NA supervision delegation for 2024.
