Hanoi (VNA) – President Truong Tan Sang presented a report reviewing his performance as the State leader for 2011-2016 during the second day of the legislature’s last meeting on March 22.

Over the past five years, amidst complicated developments regionally and globally and with socio-economic difficulties at home, the President closely coordinated with legislative, executive and judicial agencies; the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF); political-social organisations; ministries; localities; people and voters nationwide to fulfill his assigned tasks effectively in line with the Constitution and law, the report said.

The President, together with the entire Party, population and army has contributed to effectuating the 11th National Party Congress’s Resolution as well as the guidelines of the Party, policies and laws of the State, and resolutions of the 13 th National Assembly.

Regarding tasks and orientations for the time ahead, President Truong Tan Sang stressed the need to team up with the NA and its Standing Committee, and the Government to fulfill tasks in the legislative and executive sectors.

Other obligations include building and perfecting the legal system to institutionalise the content of the Constitution and the 12th National Party Congress’s Resolution, and make proposals to complete a number of legal documents relating to the President’s tasks and power.

At the same time, the President should continue instructing relevant agencies in implementing the programme on judicial reform for 2016-2020, to build up a strong body of judicial officials.

The leader should also enhance his coordination with the VFF and its member organisations, while increasing his meetings with voters at home and abroad, thus promoting democracy and consolidating the great national unity bloc.

The same day, legislators heard a draft report on the NA work and another report on the performance of the Government and the Prime Minister in the 2011-2016 tenure.
