Prime Minister Le Minh Hung, who is Secretary of the Government Party Committee, and N.A. Chairman Tran Thanh Man, who is Secretary of the N.A. Party Committee, co-chaired the event.
The extraordinary session is scheduled to run from August 3 to 24, split into two phases. Lawmakers are set to consider 31 items, including 26 legislative matters, personnel decisions and four other major issues.
Close, effective and comprehensive coordination
PM Le Min Hung spoke highly of the fruitful coordination between the two Party committees since the start of the tenure, which has promptly institutionalized the Party's guidelines, the Party Central Committee and Politburo's resolutions and decisions, as well as the directions given by the Party General Secretary and State President. Their joint efforts have helped with realizing socio-economic targets, maintaining macro-economic balances and smoothly running the new organizational model of the political system.

He said the Government and ministries have accelerated preparations for key draft laws and resolutions containing a number of new policies likely to have a major impact on socio-economic development.
The proposals aim to turn the Party's guidelines and policies into legislation, address urgent issues, push ahead with administrative and business condition reforms, streamline the organizational apparatus, and deal with legal documents that are due to expire before March 1, 2027, he said.
Ministers and heads of agencies were assigned to closely oversee the drafting process and work closely with N.A. bodies during the examination, revision and finalization, while promptly reporting issues beyond their authority.
Ministries and agencies must also work constructively and responsibly with N.A. bodies to further refine draft legislation, particularly by conducting thorough impact assessments of major new policies affecting citizens and businesses, according to the Government leader.
Legislative quality must come first
Chairman Man acknowledged the tight timetable but stressed that meeting deadlines must not come at the expense of legislative quality.
He urged drafting agencies to quickly finalize documents and work closely with the N.A. Council for Ethnic Affairs and committees to secure quality review from the outset.
The top legislator praised the PM’s strong lawmaking direction, especially the requirement that ministries prepare guiding decrees and circulars alongside draft laws, giving lawmakers a fuller basis for deliberation and ensuring newly adopted laws can be enforced immediately upon issuance.
He called for documents to be completed and submitted on schedule through the N.A.’s digital platform so deputies have enough time for review. For draft laws being submitted for first reading, documents may be supplied in phases as long as the overall timetable holds.
Reiterating that draft quality remains the top priority, he said the Ethnic Affairs Council and N.A. committees must work closely with ministries and agencies during review and revision to ensure proposals are rigorous, practical and feasible. Drafts that fall short of required standards, he said, must be returned for further revision.
Relevant agencies were urged to keep improving working methods and maintain careful, scientific and responsible planning so that the extraordinary session runs smoothly and delivers maximum efficiency.
