Reporting on preparations for the 9th Session, National Assembly Secretary General Le Quang Tung stated that, due to the large number of legislative, supervisory, and important decision-making items at the Session, many of which are difficult and complex, it is proposed to continue organizing the 9th Session in two phases (with a 9-day interval between the two phases) to allow time for National Assembly agencies and relevant bodies to receive and explain the opinions of National Assembly deputies, revise and finalize draft laws and resolutions to the best possible quality before submitting them to the National Assembly for approval.

Thus, in the case of draft laws and resolutions being added to the legislative program, at the 9th session, the National Assembly is expected to consider 31 legislative items, 7 groups of items related to socio-economic issues, state budget, supervision and other important matters; and 7 groups of items for which agencies will submit reports for National Assembly deputies to study independently.

The National Assembly is expected to work for 26 days, with the first phase mainly focusing on discussing issues to be voted on and passed during the session, and group discussions on several draft laws submitted for the National Assembly's consideration; and question-and-answer sessions. The second phase mainly focuses on the National Assembly voting on laws and resolutions, group discussions on several draft laws, and plenary discussions on draft laws submitted for the National Assembly's consideration.

The workload is heavy, requiring careful planning of the meeting agenda.

During the session, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Nguyen Khac Dinh stated that the 8th session was a special session with many innovations, starting from the preparation stage. The National Assembly Party Committee and the Government Party Committee met a month in advance, and leading up to the session, the National Assembly and Government leaders frequently communicated by phone. The agencies also coordinated well in carrying out their assigned tasks. The National Ethnic Council and the National Assembly Committees worked tirelessly day and night, including holidays, with a high sense of responsibility and urgency.

"The 8th session is a session for thoroughly understanding and institutionalizing the resolutions of the Central Committee and the conclusions of the Politburo in the laws, resolutions, and documents discussed and passed by the National Assembly in great detail," the Vice Chairman of the National Assembly emphasized.
