While presenting the NA Standing Committee’s proposal during the
legislature’s plenum on October 22, NA Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan said the
vote is based on Article 74 of the 2013 Constitution of the Socialist Republic
of Vietnam; Article 8 of the law No.57/2014/QH2013 on the organisation of the
NA; Article 31 of the rules on NA sessions; and point 4 of Resolution No.34,
dated October 6, 2018 of the eighth plenum of the 12th Party Central Committee.
Earlier, at its recent eighth plenum, the Party Central Committee reached
consensus to nominate Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, who is also a
deputy of the 14th NA, for the presidency.
The NA will also approve the removal of Truong Minh Tuan from the post of
Minister of Information and Communications, and consider the appointment of a
new minister.
Ngan suggested the lawmakers to meticulously study relevant personnel documents
in order to cast informed votes.
The sixth session, which opened on October 22 and will last for 24 days, is
said to be a historic meeting with many other important issues on the agenda.
The Government is for the first time required to report on the outcomes of the
last three years of implementing the NA’s resolutions on socio-economic
development, economic restructuring, national finance, and mid-term public
investment with a view to removing bottlenecks to fulfil the targets set for
the 2016-2020 period.
Another item on the NA’s working agenda that attracts great interest is the
vote of confidence on officials holding positions elected or approved by the
NA. The vote will be held during the first few days of the session, before
question-and-answer sessions take place.
It is noteworthy that the NA is expected to ratify the Progressive Agreement
for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and relevant documents at this session.
This is an important pact which will greatly influence the country’s politics,
economy, society, and diplomacy.
Lawmaking is always a predominant feature and major task at NA sittings. At
this session, the NA deputies are expected to adopt nine bills and one resolution.–

In the spirit of "Party members go first, the people follow”, all households of Party members in the Doan Ket sub-region in Da Bac town, Da Bac district, voluntarily removed gates and fences, and donated land when the road expansion project passed through their properties. Inspired by their example, 68 households in the sub-region quickly followed suit, contributing over 1,400 sq.m of residential and perennial cropland to widen the main road through the residential area. The exemplary role of Party members in Doan Ket stands as a shining example of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality, and lifestyle.

During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh always expressed his deep affection and special concern for children and youth. He once emphasized: "Caring for and educating children well is the responsibility of the entire Party and the entire people”; "First of all, the family (i.e. grandparents, parents, siblings) must do this job well”. "the Party Committees…, the Children’s Committee, the Youth Union, the education sector, and all related organizations must have specific plans to ensure children grow healthier and more progressive”. His teachings has been remaining valuable and serving as the guiding principles in the work of protecting, caring for, and educating children. In line with this ideology, Hoa Binh Province has continuously been prioritizing and investing resources in the well-being of children in recent years.
