Hanoi (VNA) – ꦰNational Assembly (NA) Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung has stressed the quality of candidates as the most important factor of the upcoming election of deputies to the 14th NA and People’s Councils at all levels for 2016-2021.
The chief legislator, who is also Chairman of the National Election Council (NEC), made the remarks at a conference on coordination in 2016 between the NA’s Standing Committee and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee (VFFCC)’s Presidium in Hanoi on March 2.
He noted his hope that the VFFCC’s Presidium will closely team up with the NA’s Standing Committee and the NEC for the success of the elections, an important political event of the country.
The NA Chairman urged the two agencies work closely with each other in building laws as well as in collecting voters’ opinions and supervising the settlement of people’s complaints and petitions.
VFFCC President Nguyen Thien Nhan said the VFF will continue to popularise the election, especially its new points, for social organisations and people from all walks of life.
The VFF will also continue to partner with the NA’s Standing Committee in law-making and supervision, and other legislative activities, he promised.
Other participants suggested reforming the coordination mechanism to allow the VFFCC Presidium to involve in the law building process from the beginning of the law drafting work.-VNA
The election of deputies to the 14th National Assembly and People’s Councils at all levels of the 2016-20 tenure will take place on May 22, 2016, which is a Sunday in line with the law.
National Assembly deputies gave the nod to the general elections, the Electoral Council and the revised Civil Code during their plenary session of the 13th parliament’s ongoing 10th sitting on Nov. 24
The Political Bureau held a national conference in Hanoi on Feb. 2 on preparations for the election of deputies to the 14th National Assembly and all-level People’s Councils in the 2016-2021 period.
Candidate preparations are a key part of preparations for the National Assembly (NA) and People’s Council elections, slated for May 22, said NA Secretary General Nguyen Hanh Phuc.
Vietnam always regards the RoK as an important and long-term strategic partner; and hopes that the two sides will work together to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in a more substantive, effective, and comprehensive manner in the coming time.
Within the framework of the Vietnam-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, people-to-people exchanges and local cooperation have been priorities.
The merger of Nam Dinh, Ha Nam, and Ninh Binh aims to shape a modern, vibrant development space with Ninh Binh at its heart, transforming the region into a hub of smart and green industry and services by 2030, while preserving its unique identity as a national heritage centre.
While praising the efforts of ministries, sectors, and localities in tackling smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeiting, and intellectual property violations, PM Chinh acknowledged that in some places and at certain times, there has been lax enforcement and unclear jurisdiction, leading to increasingly complex developments in these issues.
At the working session, General Secretary Lam presented the Party Committee of the VFF and central mass organisations with the Politburo’s Decision No. 304-QD/TW, which outlines the new structure, functions and tasks of the VFF Central Committee, marking a significant step in improving its organisational effectiveness.
Describing the exhibition as a large-scaled, content-rich, and unprecedented event with high requirements and limited preparation time, PM Pham Minh Chinh urged all ministries, sectors, and localities to participate with the highest sense of responsibility, ensuring the exhibition is inclusive, objective, truthful, feasible, and impactful.
Vietnam’s attendance reaffirms its consistent foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralisation and diversification, and comprehensive, intensive, extensive and effective international integration.
Cheng stressed that this is third time PM Chinh has attended the meeting and he is among the few senior government officials participating in this year's event, which is considered as a rare and commendable gesture.
The fact that the Vietnamese PM has been invited to attend and speak at this important event for three consecutive years reflects the WEF as well as the international business community's recognition and high regard for Vietnam's position, role, and contributions to global and regional economic growth.
This new era marks a crucial phase in which the country must strive with determination to fulfil its strategic objectives, achieving breakthrough development at new levels of sophistication, quality, and global standing, laying the foundation for further growth. Era after era forms a continuous history of development, ascending steadily from one level to the next.
The resolution on such mechanisms aims to serve as a legal basis for opportunely dealing with difficulties and hindrances caused by legal regulations in important, priority, and urgent areas that require immediate settlement so as to unlock resources, facilitate economic development, and turn legislation into a competitive edge.
PM Pham Minh Chinh instructed chairpersons of the People’s Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities to strictly follow the Ministry of Finance's guidelines on handling public finances and budgets, with a focus on preventing wastefulness, misconduct, or corruption.
Knapper reaffirmed the US's commitment to supporting a strong, independent, prosperous and resilient Vietnam, while respecting each other’s territorial integrity, sovereignty, independence and political systems.
Vietnam is deeply concerned about the escalating and complex conflict in the Middle East, which poses a serious threat to the lives and safety of civilians, as well as to regional and global peace and stability.
