Hanoi (VNA) – National Assembly (NA) Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue has lauded the full and straightforward answers by Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung to questions raised by NA deputies on November 12, and asked the Government, Minister Dung and leaders of relevant ministries and agencies to study the deputies' ideas to handle problems related to the four major issues.
Firstly, the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) should immediately start working with other relevant ministries and sectors as well as NA agencies to assist the Government in building, issuing and implementing a master plan on post-pandemic economic recovery and development.
The NA chairman underlined the necessity to design risk management programmes to make sure that the mobilisation and distribution of resources are implemented in an open, transparent and effective manner, preventing losses, wastefulness as well as vested interest and negative phenomena during the allocation and use of supporting packages.
Secondly, the MPI should focus on speeding up the disbursement of public investment capital and the progress of national key projects.
Hue urged the ministry to provide consultation to the Government on defining specific responsibility of organisations and individuals involved in public investment disbursement, with a view to speeding up procedures of investment preparations, capital allocation, disbursement and balancing.
It is necessary to roll out stronger and effective solutions to reach the target of 90 percent in public investment disbursement in 2021, and completing 100 percent of the allocation and disbursement estimate assigned by the NA, he stressed.
Thirdly, the NA leader reminded the MPI to propose to the Government measures to promptly build national as well as regional and provincial master plans for approval in line with the Planning Law.
Particularly, the master plan for the Mekong Delta region’s development should be completed before December 2021, he underscored.
Finally, the top legislator asked the ministry to make careful preparations for national key projects in the time to come, with the gathering of ideas from the State Audit Office. It is crucial to consider the feasibility of the projects, especially issues related to capital mobilisation, he said./.
Three ministers have presented explanations on issues of National Assembly deputies’ concern during the NA’s plenary meeting on November 9, the second working day of the second phase of the 15th legislature’s second session, which is being held in the in-person form.
Legislators continued to question Government members regarding labour, invalids and social affairs, education-training, and planning and investment at a Q&A session on November 11, as part of the ongoing 11th sitting of the 15th National Assembly.
The trip will be made at the invitations of Chinese Premier Li Qiang and WEF President and CEO Børge Brende, according to an announcement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Long spoke highly of the dynamic, positive, and comprehensive development of Vietnam – Russia relations in recent years. He affirmed that the Vietnamese Party and State place great importance on further strengthening the comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia in a substantive and effective manner, in line with the development needs of both nations.
At the conference, participants reported that the Government has so far issued 28 decrees on the delegation of responsibilities and powers between the central Government and two-tier local administrations. Several localities have already piloted the new governance model.
Reality is the ultimate benchmark for success, he said, urging drafting agencies to work out policies that foster development, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and respect practical conditions.
Under the official dispatch signed on June 20, ministers, heads of ministerial-level agencies, and chairpersons of provincial and municipal People’s Committees are requested to concentrate efforts on implementing core measures to ensure the smooth operations of the new administrative framework.
The Party chief underscored the need for the press to innovate relentlessly, evolve to keep pace with the country's development, transform into a truly professional, humanistic, and modern sector that serves the cause of the Party, the State, and the people on the path to national construction and development.
The UN Secretary-General praised Vietnam’s remarkable achievements in socio-economic development and international integration in recent years, noting that the country has emerged as a model in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promoting international peace and security, and engaging in key UN processes.
Nghia affirmed that this is a milestone of special significance, affirming and honouring the the Vietnamese revolutionary press’s glorious tradition of 100 years of serving the revolutionary cause of the Party, serving the Fatherland, and serving the people.
The Party and State of Vietnam always attach great importance to and give top priority to the development of Vietnam–China relations. Vietnam is ready to work with the Chinese Party and State to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and promote the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.
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.
