At a press conference in Hanoi on Tuesday, head of the NA Office Nguyen Hanh Phuc said high on the meeting’s agenda will be building laws and ordinances to realize the 2013 Constitution.
The NA is scheduled to adopt 11 bills and one resolution, including draft laws on government organization, local administration organization, election of deputies to the NA and People’s Councils, and a revised law on state budget.
Phuc said: “a number of important laws relating to the judiciary, like the civil code, the penal code, and the criminal procedure code, will be discussed at this meeting. Because the Civil Code is regarded as the general law in Vietnam’s legal system, its draft has been published for public feedback. Comments by the public and competent agencies will reflect their interests in the legal document.”
Deputies will also consider 15 draft laws including a bill on referendum, 6 reports including a report on wrong judgments due to the application of the penal code, the criminal procedure code, and compensations for those suffering from an unjust conviction.
Four resolutions including a project to develop Long Thanh International Airport are expected to be adopted.
Ten debate sessions will be broadcast live.
