National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man emphasized that the 8th Session is expected to have the largest volume of work submitted to the National Assembly for consideration and decision since the beginning of the 15th term.

The National Assembly will consider 39 contents, including 29 contents on legislative work, 10 groups of contents on socio-economy, state budget, supervision, personnel and decide on other important issues under its authority.

Of which, the National Assembly considered and approved 16 draft laws, of which 11 draft laws were commented on at the 7th Session; 2 draft resolutions of the National Assembly. The National Assembly will also give its first comments on 12 other draft laws.

In particular, the National Assembly will consider and decide on the investment policy for the National Target Program on Cultural Development for the 2025-2035 period; the establishment of Hue City under the Central Government; and the investment policy for the high-speed railway project on the North-South axis.

The leaders of the National Assembly and the Government have repeatedly emphasized the need to change thinking and working methods in law-making, ensuring simplification, increasing decentralization, accelerating progress... so that the issues that are not unified or agreed upon between the reviewing and drafting agencies will be implemented in the spirit of "however difficult, we will solve them".
