Addressing the event, National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan said the NASC commented on three draft bills, one Resolution, and other key issues.
Specifically, three draw laws including the revised Law on National Defense, the Law on Cyber Security and the Law on Special Economic-Administrative Units had different opinions. Thus, Chairwoman Ngan recommended the National Assembly’s Committees to work with relevant agencies to seek comments.
The NASC also discussed the committee’s draft resolution prescribing in detail a number of articles of the 2015 Law on State Audit and mulled over adjustments to the use of Government bond capital managed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development during 2017-2020, in the Ta Pao irrigation system project in central Binh Thuan province, and the upper Kroon Pach reservoir project in the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak.
Preparations for the 26th annual meeting of the Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum (APPF-26) were also put on the table for discussion.
The lawmakers looked into the draft resolution prescribing in detail a number of articles of the 2015 Law on State Audit, showing their disapproval of the issuance of the document as the committee is not authorized to decide on administrative punishment of the sector./.
