In his opening speech, comrade Nguyen Truong Nhat Phuong, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Council, said that the People's Council has many tasks and duties when operating a two-level local government.

Therefore, People's Councils at all levels must adapt to institutional changes, quickly stabilize their organizational apparatus, promptly perform their assigned tasks and powers, and work with People's Committees to make local governments at two levels operate stably, smoothly and effectively.

Especially in the context of changes in legal regulations related to the activities of People's Councils, such as: Law on Organization of Local Government, Law on Supervisory Activities of the National Assembly and People's Councils.
