In his closing address, NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue said that after 12 days
of urgent, serious, and responsible working, the legislature completed all of its
agenda, making the 11th sitting a success. The NA comprehensively summarised
the performance of State agencies in the 2016-2021 tenure and decided upon personnel
tasks and other important matters.
The legislature spent a lot of time discussing and evaluating working reports
from the NA, the State President, the Government, NA bodies, the Supreme People’s
Court, the Supreme People’s Procuracy, and the State Audit Office, he said.
The NA agreed that, in this term, despite the difficulties and complexities,
under the leadership of the Party and with the consent and support of the people,
State agencies did their best to fully perform their functions, tasks, and powers
as prescribed, recording important achievements and leaving many outstanding marks
on national construction and development.
The people and voters nationwide acknowledged that the NA and its agencies
raised the spirit of solidarity and sense of responsibility and introduced strong
innovations to achieve comprehensive results in all working fields, creating an
important foundation for the next legislature to continue to reform operational
methods and improve the quality and efficiency of activities.
Hue said that in implementing the personnel arrangement plan after the 13th National Party Congress, the NA during this session considered and decided to relieve,
elect, and approve a number of positions in the State apparatus, ensuring
democracy and compliance with the law and achieving a very high consensus. In front
of the national flag, the NA, and voters nationwide, the new NA Chairman, State
President, and Prime Minister took their oaths of office, vowing absolute loyalty
to the Fatherland, the people, and the Constitution, and to work tirelessly to accomplish
all of their assigned tasks.

The legislature also listened to a report on preparations for the elections
of deputies to the 15th NA and People’s Councils at all levels for the 2021-2026
tenure, scheduled for May 23, and passed the revised Law on Drug Prevention and
Control, the last bill adopted by this legislature.
On behalf of the NA, Chairman Hue expressed his deepest and most sincere
gratitude to the entire Party, State, Government, and people nationwide, as well
as international friends, for their valuable support and assistance, helping the
legislature fulfil all its assigned tasks during the 14th tenure.
“The 14th tenure is wrapping up and this is also a time to prepare
for the continuation of the responsibilities and traditions of the NA,” Hue said.
“We believe that the valuable achievements and lessons learned from the glorious
75-year journey will create solid foundations for the NA of the 15th tenure and following tenures to continue on its path, serving as the highest representative
body of the people and the highest organ of State power in Vietnam,” he stressed.
At the closing session, with 436 votes in favour out of 437 deputies present, or
90.83 percent of all lawmakers, the National Assembly passed a resolution on the
2016-2021 working plans of the NA, State President, Government, NA bodies, Supreme
People’s Court, Supreme People’s Procuracy, and State Audit Office./.
