Presiding over the opening ceremony, NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man said the six-day session will deliberate on 37 major items. Legislative work, he said, will take centre stage, with the NA Standing Committee set to discuss 22 draft laws and resolutions for submission to the NA at its 10th sitting, adding the legislative proposals on such key areas as completion of tax policy, apparatus organisation, human rights, innovation, and national digital transformation.
The top legislator urged the members of the NA Standing Committee to embody the spirit articulated by Party General Secretary To Lam at the first congress of the NA Party Organisation, emphasising that legislative work must go beyond merely resolving overlaps, contradictions, and bottlenecks to pave the way for national development, encourage innovation, unleash labour potential, and unlock resources for development.
He called on the members to demonstrate their new mindset and long-term vision, building a modern and harmonious legal framework that creates new momentum and space for national growth.
The committee will also set aside time to finalise three draft laws and resolutions already scheduled for the 10th session, as well as five others proposed by the Government for inclusion, provided all procedural conditions are met. It will further deliberate on several resolutions within its jurisdiction. During the session, members will review reports on socio-economic performance and the State budget, people’s aspirations, and implementation of the five-year plan for submission to the parliament.
NA Chairman Man ordered the members to meticulously look into reports to institutionalise the Party Central Committee’s policies and major orientations, particularly issues related to growth quality, labour productivity, green transition, digital transformation, economic restructuring, and social security. They should propose breakthrough solutions to lay a solid foundation for harmonious institutions and policies, creating momentum for the nation’s development for 2026-2030.
The NA Standing Committee will also give opinions on four major issues for NA consideration, namely the investment policy for a national target programme on modernising and improving education quality for 2026-2035, adjustments to the national master plan for 2021-2030, submission to the NA for ratification of the external affairs agreement requested by the State President, and personnel work.
Other items on the agenda comprise the third review of the preparations for the 10th sitting of the 15th NA and decisions on specific matters within its mandate, including guidance on candidate structures for the 2026-2031 People’s Councils, allocation of the 2025 public investment plans using the central state budget, adjustments to the public investment plan following local administrative mergers, environmental tax rates for fuel in 2026, and a draft Government decree on distinct industrial development policies in the defence sector.
NA Chairman Man stressed that the session’s workload is extensive and time-sensitive, requiring close coordination, discipline, and a strong sense of responsibility among all agencies to meet the schedule.
