According to the National Assembly Chairman, the draft laws discussed at this conference regulate many different areas, including very important laws that have a great impact on production and business activities and the business community such as: Law on Special Consumption Tax (amended); Law on Corporate Income Tax (amended; Law on amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Product and Goods Quality; promoting the development of the domestic information technology industry and digital technology industry such as the Law on Digital Technology Industry; keeping up with social movements, managing and creating favorable conditions for advertising activities such as: Law on amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Advertising.

In addition, there are also draft laws that have received much attention from public opinion and National Assembly deputies, such as the Law on Teachers; meeting the requirements of improving capacity and effectiveness of state management in the field of employment, resolving employment-related issues such as the Law on Employment (amended).

Emphasizing that at the meetings in January, February and March 2025, the National Assembly Standing Committee gave clear opinions on specific and important issues for each draft law; agreed to revise many contents compared to the draft submitted to the National Assembly at the previous session and directed the completion of the dossier to be submitted to the Conference of specialized National Assembly deputies, the National Assembly Chairman requested that National Assembly deputies continue to discuss and analyze carefully the new issues and provisions with different opinions of each draft law; clearly express their opinions on whether the projects are qualified to be submitted to the National Assembly for approval at the next session or not?

The National Assembly Chairman stated that the very positive and breakthrough results in the legislative field at the 7th and 8th Sessions have affirmed the correctness of the policy of innovative thinking in law-making as well as the practical and important significance of specialized conferences in ensuring the quality of draft laws when submitted to the National Assembly.

The National Assembly Chairman also suggested that it is necessary to continue to thoroughly grasp and effectively implement the policy of innovation in law-making thinking, in order to quickly bring the Party's policy into practice. Laws need to be concise, effective, efficient, and promote decentralization and delegation of power. Regarding the law-making process, the submitting agency is ultimately responsible for the draft law until it is approved by the National Assembly. Therefore, the Government and the drafting agency must firmly grasp this spirit to assign tasks, monitor, and listen to opinions at all meetings and discussion sessions.

The National Assembly Chairman noted that the National Assembly agencies and National Assembly deputies need to continue to closely coordinate with the drafting agencies in all stages from discussion, consultation, editing, and verification in the spirit of companionship, substance, and sharing, to ensure that the draft laws and draft resolutions submitted to the National Assembly are of the highest quality, immediately meeting the practical requirements set forth in the country's epochal development stage.
