Voters in the island commune of Tân Phú Đông in Đồng Tháp Province gathered early in the morning to take part in the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and People’s Councils for the 2026–2031 term.

Local political security and social order remain stable, and voters are enthusiastically participating in the voting process. Police, military, border guard, and militia forces are on duty to ensure safety at polling stations.

When tens of millions of ballots are cast, the will and confidence of the people will once again be affirmed, ensuring that State power truly originates from the people and serves the people.

The top legislator hoped that the inspection and supervision would help the city further innovate in leadership and governance methods, strengthen the application of science and technology, enhance the quality of national governance, and improve services for the public.

Both sides agreed to further strengthen bilateral cooperation, including in firefighting and rescue, building on the outcomes of the official visit to Slovakia by Minister of Public Security Lương Tam Quang in September last year.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stressed that amid complex and evolving global developments, China and Việt Nam need to strengthen strategic exchanges and deepen strategic coordination to speed up the building of China – Việt Nam community with a shared future, support each country’s modernisation, and jointly address common challenges.

With the new NA, he expressed hope for more substantive debates in the chamber, saying that open and multi-dimensional discussions among deputies would help improve the quality of decisions and further affirm the legislature’s role as the highest representative body of the people.

In an interview with the Vietnam News Agency ahead of the election scheduled for March 15, Khalidi said the election marks an important milestone in Việt Nam’s development trajectory as it takes place at a moment when the country is entering a new phase of policy priorities and institutional reforms that will shape its next stage of development.

The election, scheduled for March 15, is regarded as a major political event and a central task of the country in 2026, requiring thorough preparation to guarantee that it is democratic, lawful, safe and cost-effective, and truly a nationwide festival of the people.
