HÀ NỘI — The National Assembly Standing Committee had made remarkable efforts and successfully implemented the programmes and plans set for 2019, NA Chairwoman Nguyễn Thị Kim Ngân said at the closing ceremony of the committee’s 40th session in Hà Nội on Wednesday.

The top legislator said that in 2020, the committee must be more proactive in its implementation of working programmes. 

She urged the Government, the Standing Committee of Ethnic Affairs Council, NA committees, the NA Secretary General, the State Audit and relevant agencies to implement the resolutions and conclusions of the meeting.

During the 40th session, the NA Standing Committee summed up the outcomes of the eighth session of the 14th National Assembly and discussed initial preparations for the ninth session.

After 28 days, the eighth session wrapped up with the adoption of 11 laws and codes, and 17 resolutions. Legislators also gave opinions on 10 bills, and conducted thematic supervision on one issue. 

A Q&A session attracted special attention, with voters and people nationwide approving the issues selected for the hearings and appreciating the quality of those activities.

The ninth session is scheduled to take place from May 20 to June 17, 2020, focusing on law-building. 

According to Ngân, the NA would take another step towards building an e-parliament at the ninth session to better serve people, constituents and NA agencies. — VNS
