This session also handled the largest volume of legislative work ever, as 34 laws were adopted, accounting for 52.3% of the total number of laws passed over the 17 sessions of the 15th legislature. It also approved 14 resolutions and gave opinions on six draft laws. Notably, the N.A. debated and adopted a Resolution amending and supplementing certain articles of the Constitution, with unanimous support from all deputies, which, along with a series of relevant laws and resolutions, will create a solid legal foundation for reforming and reorganizing the two-tier local administration system.
Lawmakers also discussed the Government’s reports on the implementation of the socio-economic development plan, national defense and security, and the state budget in 2024 and the early months of 2025, and made decisions on many other important issues aimed at maximizing resources in service of national development and public welfare.
This time, the N.A. decided to shorten its 15th term and the 2021-2026 term of People’s Councils at all levels, and adopted a Resolution on the establishment of the National Election Council. These are significant decisions that demonstrate proactive and well-prepared steps towards the national election scheduled for March 2026, the top legislator noted.
The legislature also approved its 2026 supervision program and conducted question-and-answer sessions on two key areas: finance and education-training.

The road ahead is still full of difficulties and challenges, but the National Assembly will continue to comprehensively innovate and enhance its legislative, oversight, and decision-making capacity on major national issues, he said, asserting that under the leadership of the Party, the legislature will continue to work with the Government, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, judicial bodies, and the entire political system to effectively implement the Constitution, along with the laws and resolutions that have been passed.
He called on all voters, and people inside and outside the country to continue accompanying, monitoring, and contributing opinions so that the decisions of the National Assembly can be effectively, practically, and sustainably implemented in real life.
