Speaking at the closing ceremony, NA Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung said that the eighth session was a success with many decisions made regarding the country’s crucial and urgent issues, meeting the expectation of voters nationwide.
He said NA deputies established the overall objectives for 2015 as continuing to focus on the macro economy and remove obstacles for production and business; drastically and effectively implementing strategic breakthroughs; improving the quality, effectiveness and competitiveness of products, businesses, and the economy. As well as promoting the public investment’s efficiency and ensuring the country’s public, Government, and foreign debts are within limits, the leader said.
They also targeted accelerated administrative procedure and judicial reforms, corruption prevention and control, thrift practice, and wastefulness prevention; which include increased effectiveness of diplomatic works and international co-operation; and enhanced defence and security capacity, he added.
The highest ranking legislator expressed his belief that with the unanimity of the Party, the entire political system, army and people of Vietnam will endure all difficulties to realise the socio-economic development plans for 2015 and the 2011-2015 period, creating new momentum for its rapid and sustainable growth in the years to come.
Prior to the closing ceremony, 405 or 81.49% of the NA deputies voted for a resolution on amendments and supplements to the NA’s Resolution No.35/2012/QH13 on the vote of confidence on officials holding positions elected or approved by the NA or People’s Councils.
Accordingly, the confidence vote will be held once every tenure and once more at the end of the tenure’s third year. It will be conducted by a ballot vote and will be measured on three scales – high confidence, confidence, and low confidence.
Officials whose low confidence votes account for more than 50% of the total votes can offer resignation.
Apart from this resolution, NA deputies also approved a resolution on the continued improvement of the effectiveness of the economic restructuring in public investment, State-owned enterprises, and the banking system; a resolution on the NA’s question-and-answer; and another on remodeling school curriculum and upgrading textbooks.
Earlier in the morning, NA deputies passed two Resolutions ratifying the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhumane or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
