Presenting the report, Chairman of the Law Committee Hoang Thanh Tung said that the majority of opinions agreed with the drafting of the National Assembly Resolution on the organizational structure of the National Assembly's specialized agencies. Accordingly, after the reorganization, the number of specialized agencies of the National Assembly includes the Ethnic Council and 7 committees.

According to the plan concluded by the Central Committee on January 24 with the agencies of the National Assembly, the activities of the Foreign Affairs Committee will end, and its tasks will be transferred to the National Defense and Security Committee, the National Assembly Office, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At the same time, the name of the National Defense and Security Committee will be changed to the National Defense, Security and Foreign Affairs Committee.

Chairman of the Law Committee Hoang Thanh Tung also said that there were opinions suggesting continuing to clearly stipulate in the Law on Organization of the National Assembly the number and names of National Assembly committees to ensure the legal status of the agencies; the phrase "agency of the National Assembly" should be used instead of the phrase "specialized agency of the National Assembly".

Explaining the above issue, the Drafting Committee found that, in the context of reorganizing the State apparatus and the need to innovate legislative thinking, not rigidly regulating the number and names of the National Assembly agencies in the law is appropriate and convenient for continuing to reorganize, adjust, and ensure harmony in the organizational structure with the functions, tasks, and powers of the agencies; this issue was also approved by the Politburo when giving opinions on draft laws on apparatus organization.

The National Assembly Chairman also noted the relevance of the Law on Organization of the National Assembly, the Law on Organization of the Government and the Law on Organization of Local Government, so it is necessary to clearly define the scope, tasks and powers. The law only regulates basic issues of principle, the rest is left to specialized laws to regulate to ensure effective state management in each field.

In conclusion, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Khac Dinh said that the National Assembly Standing Committee agreed to keep the term "National Assembly agency" as in current law.

The National Assembly Standing Committee agrees with the principles and contents of the division of authority of the Council and Committee as in the draft resolution. For some areas and tasks such as religion and international treaty examination, which should be transferred to which agency, the National Assembly Standing Committee suggests that for now, stability should be maintained, that is, whichever agency was previously in charge should be transferred to the original status after the merger to continue implementation, avoiding disruption.

The National Assembly Standing Committee believes that the dossier of the Law Project, 3 draft resolutions and accompanying documents are qualified to be submitted to the National Assembly and the National Assembly Standing Committee for consideration and decision.
