Legislators will look into and make decisions on 64 legislation items, comprising three constitutional resolutions, 49 laws and legislative resolutions, and 12 groups on socio-economic issues, state budget matters, supervision, and other critical national concerns. Eight additional groups of issues will be reported to legislators for consideration to help them practice supervision.
The agenda includes the consideration and adoption of the revised Penal Code, and modifications to multiple laws covering credit institutions, bidding, public-private partnerships, customs, import-export taxation, investment, public asset management, and Vietnamese citizenship, as well as the N.A.’s resolutions on special mechanisms for social housing development and waiving or subsidizing tuition fees for students.
The shortening of the parliament's 15th tenure and the date for the election of deputies to the 16th-tenure N.A. and all-level People's Councils for 2026–2031 will also come under discussion, Tung noted.
At the event, N.A. Chairman Tran Thanh Man urged the Government to direct drafting agencies to review each article and chapter of every law, adding the parliament stands ready to work overtime to resolve issues where drafting agencies and verification bodies lack consensus or hold differing opinions.
