Hanoi (VNA) - National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung on March 15 met with constituents in the central province of Ha Tinh to inform them about the 11th session of the 13th legislature.

The even will kick off on March 21 with focus on reviewing the performance of State-run agencies and the five-year socio-economic development situation to improve policies for national development in the next five years, he said.

The NA will make important adjustments to leadership positions at State-run agencies, which will be further improved after the 14th NA election.

Laws and ordinances regarding the implementation of the Constitution – a significant political and legal basis to guarantee future national development will be bettered.

A number of important bills are expected to be considered and adopted during the 11th session, he added.

The top legislator emphasised the key tasks of 2016, including the election of deputies to the 14th National Assembly and People’s Councils at all levels in the 2016-2021 tenure.

He asked all sectors, departments and localities to follow directions from the National Election Council and the Government to ensure a successful election.

Ha Tinh authorities were requested to actualise major orientations set by the provincial Party Organisation.

The NA leader also told the province to push ahead with new-style rural building, stressing that in the next decade, Ha Tinh needs to improve its transport infrastructure and irrigation systems and be prepared to cope effectively with climate change.

He called on the locality to ensure up to 70 percent of workers at industrial and economic zones are locals.-VNA
