Proposal to adjust administrative boundary between Ha Noi and Phu Tho to be submitted to N.A.

According to the Government’s proposal, Ba Vi National Park is a special-use forest of particular value, covering a total area of 97.02 sq.km, of which 25.29 sq.km lies within Phu Tho province’s administrative boundaries.

Transferring the entire area of the park currently under Phu Tho’s administration, along with 14.77 sq.km of its buffer zone, to Ha Noi will ensure consistent and coordinated management of forest protection and biodiversity conservation.

N.A. President Tran Thanh Man addresses the N.A. Standing Committee's 8th session on November 10.

At the session, the Standing Committee of the N.A. also discussed the explanations, incorporation of feedback and revisions to three draft laws: the amended Law on Property Auction; the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Electricity; and the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Investment.

Members of the Standing Committee of the N.A. broadly agreed with many of the Government’s explanations, responses to feedback and revisions to the three draft laws.

Addressing the session, N.A. President Tran Thanh Man stressed the importance of all three draft laws. He said particular attention must be paid to thorough reviews to ensure that their provisions do not overlap or duplicate those in other draft laws also being revised during this session.

The N.A. leader stressed that corruption and negative phenomena must be firmly prevented, and that no group interests should be allowed to influence or dominate the lawmaking and amendment process. Amendments and supplements to the laws must serve the country’s development.

On the afternoon of November 10, the Standing Committee of the N.A. discussed the explanations, incorporation of feedback and revisions to the draft Law on Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Development.
