Speaking at the opening of the conference, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue said that in recent times, the agencies have closely coordinated, organized many seminars, consulted with experts, scientists , relevant agencies and organizations to revise these draft laws. All 8 draft laws were commented on by the National Assembly Standing Committee in regular meetings in February and March 2024 on the basis of closely following major policy groups, viewpoints, goals and guiding principles when drafting the draft laws. If comparing the progress, the process of preparing the draft laws to be submitted to the National Assembly for consideration and approval at the 7th Session was earlier than in previous sessions.

According to the National Assembly Chairman, the draft laws this time have been revised relatively comprehensively, the National Assembly Standing Committee found that the projects are all qualified to be submitted to the National Assembly for comments and consideration and approval. In order for the conference to be highly effective, the National Assembly Chairman suggested that National Assembly deputies pay attention to a number of key contents. Specifically, regarding the political basis, consider whether the draft laws so far have fully grasped and seriously institutionalized as well as accurately followed the Party's policies on each issue. Along with that, it is necessary to review to ensure the constitutionality, legality and consistency of the legal system as well as ensure compliance with international treaties and conventions to which Vietnam is a member. In addition, review whether the contents of the draft laws so far have closely followed the major policies set out when drafting the law. “Which content is new, and are the additional issues different or more than the old policies, have they fully complied with the regulations on law-making, especially the process of assessing the impacts of proposed new policies, supplements, and amendments or not?” the National Assembly Chairman asked.

The National Assembly Chairman also asked the full-time National Assembly deputies to focus on giving opinions on major issues that still have different opinions or options; and at the same time review issues related to the application of laws and transitional provisions. In the process of drafting bills, the National Assembly Chairman asked the deputies to continue to thoroughly grasp the principle: for issues that are mature, clear enough, and have high consensus and unity, they should be stipulated in the law; for issues that are not mature, not clear enough, and have too different opinions, they need to continue to be studied. For issues that are truly urgent but do not have high consensus, but have conclusions from competent authorities, they should be studied to take appropriate steps. The National Assembly Chairman said that at the 7th Session, the National Assembly plans to consider and pass 10 draft laws, including one draft law that the Government has not yet submitted, and another draft law that is being withdrawn for later comments. In addition, 10 other draft laws were also commented on, not to mention a large number of draft resolutions that the Government is proposing. The National Assembly Standing Committee is directing agencies to review and separate urgent and well-prepared contents to include in the agenda of the 7th Session; those that are not yet mature, not clear enough, and not yet well-prepared can be postponed to the 8th Session or delayed. Emphasizing that the task of law-making at this 7th Session is very heavy, the National Assembly Chairman affirmed that this Conference of specialized National Assembly deputies is of great significance in assisting the National Assembly in general in its legislative work at the upcoming session. Therefore, he requested that delegates pay attention and contribute many dedicated and valuable opinions so that the National Assembly Standing Committee can continue to direct research and absorb them to have the best quality draft submitted to the National Assembly for consideration and approval at the 7th Session.
