Discussion by field group

Speaking at the opening of the Conference, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man stated that the 8th Conference of full-time National Assembly deputies took place over 2.5 days, discussing and giving opinions on 21 draft laws.

The conference was held at a time when many localities were organizing Party Congresses at all levels, and some localities were struggling to prevent and combat the extremely complicated storm No. 10, so the National Assembly Chairman emphasized that the organization of the conference was scientific, time-saving and truly effective.

"The conference was innovated in the direction of organizing group discussions in areas including: Economy, finance; Culture, society; National defense, security, foreign affairs, supervision; Law, justice to create more flexibility for National Assembly deputies to have more time to comment on the content they are interested in; overcoming the situation of having to adjust the program when there is content that has no comments", said the National Assembly Chairman.

Do not leave unfinished business for the next National Assembly

The conference is of great significance, taking place right after the great success of the 1st National Assembly Party Congress (term 2025 - 2030). The National Assembly Chairman said that at the Congress, General Secretary To Lam acknowledged the intelligence, dedication, and silent sacrifice of each National Assembly delegate; at the same time, he gave important instructions and orientations for the activities of the National Assembly. In particular, the General Secretary requested to determine that legislative work - "breakthrough of breakthroughs" - does not only stop at overcoming overlaps, contradictions, and bottlenecks, but also must go ahead, pave the way, lead the country's development, encourage creativity, liberate all labor, and unleash all resources for development.
