The National Assembly of Vietnam began its 9th session with an agenda dedicated to amending and supplementing the Constitution and related laws to optimize the nation's organizational frameworks. Chairman Tran Thanh Man urged deputies to provide thoughtful and responsible input, underscoring the session's historic nature and significant implications for the country.

 

Taking place in two phases, the session aims to conclude by June 30 and respond swiftly to the policies set out by the Party Central Committee and its Politburo and Secretariat. The amendments focus on streamlining the organizational apparatus, restructuring administrative units, and organizing a two-level local administration model, thereby fostering a robust legal framework for growth.

 

The constitutional adjustments target eight of the Constitution's 120 articles, emphasizing the importance of finalizing these changes by June 30 for enactment by July 1. Chairman Man highlighted the balance needed between urgency and thoroughness and called for public consultation throughout the amendment process.

 

The restructuring of the political system’s organizational apparatus and local administration underscores the developments, aligning with recent Party policies supported by the public. The session will also address socio-economic development, evaluate the state budget, and propose practical, high-impact solutions for national challenges.

 

Chairman Man stressed the importance of resource allocation for science, technology, digital transformation, and achieving an economic growth rate of 8% or higher. Deputies are expected to thoroughly assess government reports, acknowledging areas needing improvement, and propose viable solutions for sustained national development.
