Regarding the law-making work, at this session, the National Assembly Standing Committee will give opinions on the draft Law on Roads and the draft Law on Road Traffic Safety and Order. The National Assembly Chairman said that these are two draft laws that the National Assembly has decided in the Resolution on the Law and Ordinance Making Program for 2024, supplementing the Law and Ordinance Making Program for 2023.
According to the schedule, the National Assembly will consider giving initial comments at the 6th Session and consider approving them at the 7th Session. These two draft laws have been prepared for quite a long time and up to now, according to the proposal of the National Defense and Security Committee, they have met the conditions to be submitted to the National Assembly Standing Committee for early comments so that relevant agencies and organizations, especially the drafting agencies, have more time to study, absorb and complete them to achieve the best quality.
The National Assembly Standing Committee will consider and vote to approve the Resolution on the arrangement of district and commune-level administrative units for the 2023-2030 period. National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue said that in the previous period, 2019-2021, the arrangement of administrative units was well implemented in the spirit of Resolution 37-NQ/TW of the Politburo. The National Assembly Standing Committee has conducted thematic supervision on the arrangement of district and commune-level administrative units for the 2019-2021 period.
Based on Conclusion 48-KL/TW of the Politburo on the continued arrangement of district and commune-level units, the Government has directed the Ministry of Home Affairs to coordinate with relevant departments, ministries, branches, agencies of the National Assembly Standing Committee and the National Assembly, especially the Law Committee, to carefully prepare the content of this draft Resolution. Previously, the National Assembly Standing Committee gave preliminary comments on this content.
The National Assembly Chairman added that the early issuance of this resolution will create conditions for the Government, ministries and localities to organize its implementation. In fact, through contact with voters, it has been shown that voters are very eager to implement this issue soon. The Government and relevant agencies and localities have made preparations to promptly serve the Party Congresses at all levels, leading up to the 14th National Party Congress.
The National Assembly Chairman requested the National Assembly Standing Committee to carefully study the review file to promptly institutionalize Resolution 37-NQ/TW and Conclusion 48-KL/TW of the Politburo, which is a very important content in the overall implementation of the National Party Congress resolution and Resolution 18-NQ/TW of the 12th Party Central Committee on streamlining the apparatus, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of state management activities, the context here is Resolution 27-NQ/TW of the 13th Central Committee on continuing to build and perfect the socialist rule-of-law state of Vietnam.

Like other regular meetings, in the July regular meeting, the National Assembly Standing Committee continued to give opinions on the National Assembly's petition work. The National Assembly Chairman said that recently, the National Assembly and the National Assembly Standing Committee continued to explore and innovate. Previously, the petition work was only considered twice a year at the National Assembly sessions in the form of sending reports.

In particular, at the recent 5th Session, voters highly appreciated the National Assembly's arrangement of time to discuss in the hall and broadcast live this very important session. Following that result, the National Assembly Standing Committee continued to review the results of the month's petition work.
