The National Assembly Standing Committee also presented revisions to the draft Law on Fighting Terrorism. Most deputies agreed that while this law is essential in the current integration context, the definition of terrorism in the law should be made more comprehensive. Creating a Steering Board for Fighting Terrorism was also discussed. Deputy Nguyen Minh Kha from Can Tho said: "International cooperation in fighting terrorism – sharing information, training, and technical facilities – is essential because we do not have much experience in this field. This is a sensitive issue which called for assurances of independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity". 

The deputies continued their discussion of the revised Law on Value-added Tax and amendments and supplements to the Law on Corporate Income Tax.
