Nguyen Van Chien, Vice Chairman of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Publicity, speaks at the press conference on October 13, 2026. |
From November 15 to 19, the N.A. will recess to allow its agencies, the Government and relevant bodies to incorporate feedback, revise and finalize draft laws and resolutions before submitting them for consideration and approval.
On the legislative agenda, the parliament is expected to consider 43 draft laws and resolutions, while making decisions on 10 groups of important issues concerning socio-economic affairs, the state budget, supervision and other matters within its remit. It will also conduct question-and-answer sessions.
Nguyen Van Chien, Vice Chairman of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Publicity, called on the press to follow communication guidelines and provide extensive coverage of the country's major political events, particularly the outcomes of the fourth meeting of the 14th Party Central Committee and the second session of the 16th N.A.
In addition, the press should step up coverage of the Party's guidelines and decisions, the State's policies and laws, diplomatic activities of Party and State leaders, socio-economic development achievements and efforts to achieve ambitious growth targets.
Press agencies should also focus on education, culture, activities to honor those who have made sacrifices for the country, and major political and social events, Chien said.
He added that to facilitate press coverage, the N.A. Office will operate a press center at the N.A. House from 7:30a.m. to 6:30pm daily throughout the session, providing press releases, documents, photographs and official information for reporters.
