Hanoi (VNA) – The National Assembly (NA) Standing Committee started its seventh session in Hanoi on January 18, under the chair of NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue.

In his opening remarks, Chairman Hue said that during the two-day session, lawmakers are expected to consider and opine on proposals related to the draft revised Law on Emulation and Commendation. The draft law was discussed at the 15th legislature’s second plenary session.

He asked deputies to focus discussion on controversial issues of the bill to submit it to the NA’s third plenum, scheduled to take place in May.

Lawmakers will also scrutinise the NA’s draft resolution on piloting the model of labour organisation, career counseling, and vocational training for detainees outside prisons as part of the 2022 law and ordinance building programme.

 

They will also decide on the implementation of the jury’s trial attire and comment on additions to the foreign capital investment plan from the unallocated capital, as well as adjustments to the medium-term public investment plan for 2021-2025.

The committee will discuss a report on the NA’s hearing of people’s feedback in December last year and comment on the outcomes of the NA's first extraordinary sitting, among other matters.

After the opening ceremony, under the chair of Standing NA Vice Chairman Tran Thanh Man, deputies exchanged views on the draft revised Law on Emulation and Commendation.

Man requested the NA Committee on Social Affairs to collect and field deputies’ ideas, and step up coordination in discussion between the drafting agency, the verification agency, the NA Committee on Legal Affairs, the NA Committee on Judicial Affairs, the Office of the National Assembly, the NA Deputies Committee and the Legislative Research Institute./.
