NA Standing Committee Convenes Fourth Session, Focusing on Economic Growth and Legal Framework

The National Assembly Standing Committee convened its fourth session, confirming voters' support for the continued implementation of measures aimed at promoting economic growth, stabilising the macroeconomy, controlling inflation, and safeguarding major economic balances, alongside ensuring economic, energy, monetary, and food security, as well as social order and safety. During the session, the NA Standing Committee will provide opinions on a draft ordinance amending and supplementing a number of articles of the ordinance on the procedures for considering and deciding on the application of administrative sanctions at the People's Courts. The committee will also review and adopt one ordinance and one resolution to further fine-tune the legal framework governing the People's Courts under the newly restructured organisational system. Dr. Le Thi Chien, Deputy Director of the Department of Science Management under the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, stated that streamlining the apparatus is neither a "subjective wish" of the Party nor an "imposed" policy or a tool for "factional purges" as claimed by hostile, reactionary, and politically opportunistic forces. In response to the country’s development requirements in the new era, the campaign against "internal enemies" remains resolute, with no forbidden zones and no exceptions. However, its objective has evolved beyond addressing misconduct to building a national governance system founded on integrity, transparency, and modernity. Nguyen Kim Son, Deputy Head of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee’s Commission for Policies and Strategies, briefed the French side on Vietnam's development process, its socialist-oriented market economy, and the Commission’s role in advising the Party leadership on major socio-economic policies, institutional reform, and national development strategies. A resolution setting out a vision of enabling Vietnam's "heartbeat to resonate with that of the world, breathe in step with the spirit of the times, contribute to peace shaping, foster prosperity, and build a stronger and higher international standing for the country and nation” was also mentioned. Among news highlights on the evening of July 7 were the first exchange program between young officers of the Vietnam Coast Guard and the Philippine Coast Guard, Hanoi welcoming its 5 millionth international visitor in 2026, and nearly 400 km of new expressways put into operation in the first half of 2026. Through these exchange activities, young officers are expected to strengthen solidarity and build confidence, thereby contributing to the maintenance of peace, security, order, and safety, as well as respect for international law in the adjacent waters of the two countries. The program also underscores the positive role played by maritime law enforcement forces in promoting regional stability and cooperation. In a review of disciplinary proposals involving Party members in the Party organisations of Quang Ninh, Lao Cai, Ca Mau, and Dong Thap provinces, as well as ACV, the commission concluded that several officials had shown political, moral, and lifestyle degradation and committed violations of Party regulations and State laws. NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man noted that the main challenge now lies not in policymaking but in implementation. Coordination among some agencies remains uneven, while digital transformation and data application have yet to fully meet new requirements.
