This is the first time in the 15th tenure and the fourth time since the Law on Supervision Activities of the National Assembly and People's Councils 2015 took effect that the National Assembly has questioned members of the Government and heads of sectors on the implementation of resolutions of the 14th National Assembly and from the beginning of the 15th tenure to the end of the 4th Session on thematic supervision and questioning in various fields.

Through this monitoring activity, the National Assembly will grasp the situation, progress and results of the implementation of the National Assembly's resolutions, the implementation of the "promises" and commitments of the Government, Ministers and Heads of sectors.

Re-supervision, focusing on supervising post-supervision issues, following up on supervised and questioned issues to the end, aims to help the Government, Ministers, and Sector Heads have the opportunity to report to the National Assembly, voters, and the People on what they have done, promote a sense of responsibility, and thoroughly and fundamentally resolve the issues raised by the National Assembly.

Although not all promises, commitments, and tasks can be resolved quickly or done immediately, the National Assembly, voters, and the People have the right to know about the situation, progress of implementation, and most importantly, what has been promised to the National Assembly, voters, and the People; the tasks assigned by the National Assembly must be completed.

At the same time, through re-supervision activities, it will more clearly affirm a National Assembly that always accompanies the entire political system, aiming to find appropriate, practical, effective and feasible solutions, promoting the country's rapid and sustainable development.

Accordingly, National Assembly deputies will question the implementation of the agencies related to 10 resolutions of the 14th and 15th National Assembly. The scope of content is very broad, related to 21 fields, including major and important issues, reflecting all aspects of socio-economic life, which are of great concern to the People and voters, especially in the context that the country is in the process of overcoming the severe consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic.

To improve the quality and effectiveness of questioning, ensuring comprehensiveness, focus, and convenience for both National Assembly deputies and questioners, the National Assembly Standing Committee has arranged the questioning content into 4 groups of fields, specifically:

+ General economic field group: Includes issues related to planning and investment, finance and banking.

+ Sectoral economic sector group: Includes issues related to industry and trade, agriculture and rural development, transportation, construction, resources and environment.

After conducting the questioning by group of areas, the Prime Minister will report to clarify some issues and directly answer the questions of the National Assembly deputies.

In his opening speech, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue requested that National Assembly deputies promote a constructive and responsible spirit, through practical activities, to thoroughly clarify the implementation of recommendations on issues that have been supervised and questioned. If deemed necessary, they should propose that the National Assembly consider and decide on re-organizing supervision. For members of the Government, Ministers and Heads of sectors, it is recommended that they uphold their sense of responsibility before the National Assembly, voters and people nationwide to clarify the current situation, outstanding results achieved, and things that have not been done or have not been done well; clearly point out objective and subjective causes and directions and solutions to continue implementation to create fundamental and substantive changes in each questioned area.
