Hanoi (VNA) – The 8th extraordinary session of the 15th National Assembly (NA) has concluded after𓆏 a day of serious, democratic, and highly responsible work, having fulfilled the planned agenda, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man said.
In his closing remarks in Hanoi on August 26, Man hailed the session's success, noting its strict adherence to Party regulations and State laws, which achieved strong consensus and unity among deputies.
He said the NA relieved Nguyen Hoa Binh of his position as Chief Justice of the Supreme People's Court and approved his appointment as Deputy Prime Minister for the 2021-2026 tenure.
Following the President's recommendation, Le Minh Tri was elected Chief Justice of the Supreme People's Court, replacing Binh.
The legislature also approved the relief of Tran Luu Quang and Le Thanh Long from their respective positions as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice, with Quang assigned to head the Party Central Committee’s Economic Commission.
Nguyen Huy Tien was elected as the new Prosecutor General of the Supreme People's Procuracy, while the NA passed a resolution increasing the number of Deputy PMs to five. Ho Duc Phoc and Bui Thanh Son were appointed Deputy Prime Ministers for the 2021-2026 tenures, with Phoc and Son concurrently serving as ministers of finance and foreign affairs, respectively.
Additionally, Do Duc Duy and Nguyen Hai Ninh were appointed as Ministers of Natural Resources and Environment and Justice, respectively. The NA also approved the relief of Le Minh Khai and Dang Quoc Khanh from their respective positions as Deputy PM and Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, along with the removal of Le Thanh Van as a member of the 15th NA.
Man expressed confidence that under the Party leadership, with the active involvement of the entire political system, departments, and sectors, along with the solidarity and determined efforts of the entire Party, people, army, business community and overseas Vietnamese, the nation will overcome difficulties and challenges. It will achieve the highest possible outcomes in socioeconomic development, national defence-security, foreign affairs, and the fight against corruption and negative phenomena in 2024. These efforts will contribute to realising the 13th National Party Congress’s Resolution and prepare for the upcoming Party congresses at all levels in the lead-up to the 14th National Party Congress.
He urged relevant agencies and deputies to actively and promptly prepare the content that will be presented for consideration and approval at the 15th NA’s upcoming 8th session./.
The National Assembly (NA) on August 26 adopted resolutions on the election of the Chief Justice of the Supreme People’s Court and the Prosecutor General of the Supreme People’s Procuracy.
The National Assembly (NA) Standing Committee wrapped up its 36th session in Hanoi on August 23 after four and a half days of sitting, fulfilling its set agenda.
Under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and the CPV, President Cuong said, the press has been a steadfast force on the ideological and cultural front, rallying the masses to pursue national aspirations.
NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man stressed the need to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence and smart teaching equipment, innovate teaching and assessment methods, and further improve the quality of formal education.
He also pledged that the NA will promote its ongoing supervision, making sure that every promise must lead to results, and every commitment must bring about real changes.
Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.
The show, together with a grand parade to be held silmutaneously at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution, the National Day, and the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA).
In particular, in April 2023, the two sides successfully carried out a joint operation that dismantled a major organised, transnational drug trafficking ring involving both Vietnamese and Cambodian suspects.
The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel is closely coordinating with relevant local agencies to stay informed and provide the utmost support possible for Vietnamese nationals.
The launch of Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, even before the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam, is considered a testament to President Ho Chi Minh’s strategic foresight and strong belief in the guiding power of the revolutionary media.
New Zealand is currently one of Vietnam’s most important partners in the region, marked by a high level of political trust, strong and reliable defence and security cooperation, and increasingly open economic, trade, and investment ties.
Party General Secretary To Lam stressed that the Central Public Security Party Committee must be fully aware of the extremely important role of the People's Public Security force in the country's new revolutionary phase, so as to guide each branch and level of the force as the nation undergoes transformation.
Addressing concerns over university education spending, Son explained that as public universities gain greater autonomy, the Ministry of Finance has scaled back recurrent state funding. “Over the past decade, as autonomy has increased, the State's support has steadily declined”, he noted
Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
The country is willing to participate in collective efforts to promote cooperation and mobilise resources to advance the current priority issues of developing countries, such as trade, investment, infrastructure connectivity, making the most of scientific and technological advances for development, and people-to-people exchanges, Hang said.
During the negotiations, the US highly evaluated Vietnam’s goodwill and efforts, affirmed its appreciation for the bilateral relationship, acknowledged Vietnam’s proposals and concerns, and considered these an important basis for continuing discussions and moving towards a final agreement.
The Chairman stressed the need for stricter fiscal discipline, faster digital transformation, and more efficient management of State budget revenues and expenditures.
The ministry has instructed Vietnamese representative agencies in Israel, Iran, as well as those in neighbouring countries, to closely monitor the situation and request local authorities to ensure absolute safety for Vietnamese citizens living, studying, and working in high-risk areas.
