Speaking at the opening ceremony of the full time National Assembly deputies’ 2-day conference that opened in Hanoi on Monday, National Assembly chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung urged deputies to do their best to ensure effective legislative activities in accordance with the 2013 Constitution. Deputies will discuss several major issues regarding 6 draft Laws to be submitted to the National Assembly for approval, including the revised Law on the Organization of the National Assembly, the number of full-time deputies, and the role of the National Assembly’s Ethnic Council and other Committees.
Do Van Duong, a National Assembly deputy of Ho Chi Minh City, says the revised law on the Organization of the National Assembly must define specific criteria for NA deputies. “We need to increase the number of full time deputies to raise the quality of NA activities. But there should be specific qualifications for the full time deputies. They should be senior experts or have at least 15 years of working experience in the area they are assigned to so they are capable of making and supervising laws.” Duong said.
At its upcoming meeting, the National Assembly is expected to approve 17 draft laws and resolutions, and give opinions for the first time on 12 other draft laws.
