Preparations for the year-end NA session are high on the agenda of the NA Standing Committee meeting which opens on July 15, 2019.

At the ongoing NA Standing Committee meeting in Hanoi on Tuesday, Mr. Phuc asked the Government to soon confirm that they will propose the legislature ratify the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and the EU-Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA) at the upcoming month-long meeting. He suggested reducing or doing away with group discussions which, he said, are time consuming and inefficient. Mr. Phuc also proposed minimizing the use of paper documents.
