Delivering a report on the outcomes of the petition settlement at the NA's ongoing 8th sitting in Hanoi, Binh said that issues related to labour, invalids and social affairs, health care, transport, agriculture, rural areas, natural resources, environment, and education and training continued to be the voters’ concerns.
The NA and its agencies cleared up all 35 petitions. Over the recent past, the parliament has paid due attention to building and perfecting the legal system so as to pen effective solutions in a timely manner, creating a motive for socio-economic development in the coming years.
Meanwhile, the government, ministries, and centrally-run agencies have responded to 2,112 out of 2,162 petitions, he said, adding that concerted efforts have been made in the work, demonstrating their seriousness and sense of responsibility, with various issues resolved ahead of deadlines and the quality of the responses improved, contributing to removing roadblocks while stabilising and improving local livelihoods.
The Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuracy addressed all of the 27 petitions in their authority, he said.
However, Binh said the collection and summerisation of voters’ petitions of several NA delegations failed to meet the deadline as stipulated by the law. Besides, some issues that fall under the jurisdiction of local authorities were referred to central agencies for resolution.
He urged competent NA agencies to further enhance supervision over the issuance of legal documents and the deputies to improve the quality of petition collection, classification and settlement.

According to a report presented by President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee Do Van Chien on the same day, crop losses due to Typhoon Yagi, party congresses at all levels, especially the upcoming 14th National Party Congress, smuggling, tax evasion, high-tech crimes and corruption prevention and control are among the issues of voters’ concerns that were submitted to this session.
The report says voters have enthusiastic response to the drive to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for poor and near-poor households in 2025 and have expressed their delight at the economic growth over the past time thanks to the Party, Government, and NA’s resolve to remove bottlenecks to foster socio-economic development.
Besides, voters have been confident that under the wise leadership of the Party and State, led by Party General Secretary and State President To Lam, the whole people and army will successfully concretise the resolution adopted at the 13th National Party Congress and make meticulous preparations for the upcoming party congresses at all levels towards the 14th National Party Congress to bring the nation to a new era – the era of the nation’s rise.
In the report, the Presidium of the VFF Central Committee proposed competent authorities to issue legal documents to bring into full play the Party’s consistent policy to garner the strength of the people and realise targets on socio-economic development and defence – security.
