In her article, the Chairwoman
described the day 72 years ago as an important event in the nation’s history as
the Vietnamese through their vote chose competent people to the National
Assembly for the first time.
Through the election, the people
gave the NA the task of issuing the constitution and setting up institutions of
the people’s democratic state.
The success of the election marked
the formation of the National Assembly of Vietnam, she stressed, adding the
election was a basis to affirm that the State was elected by the people in a
democratic and legal manner.
In the first days of the NA’s
establishment, the Vietnamese legislature showed the democratic, creative and
responsible spirit through thinking and responsible discussions of NA deputies
at first sessions of the first National Assembly. The spirit of democracy,
unity, and responsibility for the sake of the people was manifested clearly in
the NA’s activities.
So far, the NA built and issued five
Constitutions, hundreds of laws and ordinances. The revision of laws has been
conducted regularly, thus perfecting the national legal system.
Each constitution, law, resolution
or decision of the NA has been connected to the nation’s developments and
reflected the renewal process of the country, she stressed.
The top legislator expressed her
belief that with the tradition and experiences accumulated over the last 72
years, the National Assembly will do the best to fulfill assigned tasks.
