The committee will also finalise personnel affairs for the second phase of the 8th session, review five out of six draft resolutions to implement the 2024 Law on the Organisation of People's Courts, and decide on administrative restructuring for district- and commune-level units in 12 provinces and cities for the 2023 – 2025 period.
The NA leader called for the responsible committees to further coordinate closely with government agencies, ensuring timely reports to the vice chairmen in charge to submit key issues requiring the NA Standing Committee’s focal discussion.
Stressing the urgency of these matters, Man urged the NA Office and its Deputy Secretary General to prepare and gather necessary participants to ensure efficient decision-making. The purpose of the 8th session’s break is to gather thorough feedback and address all issues comprehensively before the beginning of its second phase./.
