Hanoi (VNA) – The National Assembly (NA) Standing Committee began its 39th meeting in Hanoi on November 14, with the agenda focusing on deliberating draft laws under discussion at the legislature and those to be passed at the 15th NA’s 8th session.

In his opening remarks, NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man said the critical meeting is scheduled for November 14 and 15, with November 19 reserved as an additional day if needed.

At the 39th session, the NA Standing Committee is set to review and give opinions on revisions for nine draft laws, namely the amended Law on Value Added Tax, the Law on amendments and supplements to a number of articles of the Law on Officers of the Vietnam People's Army, the revised Law on Electricity, the amended Law on Public Investment, the Law on amendments and supplements to a number of articles of the Health Insurance Law, the revised Law on Notarisation, the Law on Geology and Minerals, the Data Law, and the Law on amendments and supplements to a number of articles of seven laws.

The committee will also finalise personnel affairs for the second phase of the 8th session, review five out of six draft resolutions to implement the 2024 Law on the Organisation of People's Courts, and decide on administrative restructuring for district- and commune-level units in 12 provinces and cities for the 2023 – 2025 period.

The NA leader called for the responsible committees to further coordinate closely with government agencies, ensuring timely reports to the vice chairmen in charge to submit key issues requiring the NA Standing Committee’s focal discussion.

Stressing the urgency of these matters, Man urged the NA Office and its Deputy Secretary General to prepare and gather necessary participants to ensure efficient decision-making. The purpose of the 8th session’s break is to gather thorough feedback and address all issues comprehensively before the beginning of its second phase./.
