Addressing the closing ceremony, National Assembly Chairwoman
Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan said that the session completed the set agenda with many
important contents.
During the session, deputies elected General Secretary of the
Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee Nguyen Phu Trong as the new
President of Vietnam.
The NA approved the proposal by the Prime Minister regarding
members of the cabinet.
The NA adopted nine laws and debated six other bills.
Particularly, the NA approved the Comprehensive and Progressive
Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and related documents with high
consensus, making Vietnam the seventh country to ratify the deal.
The NA Chairwoman highlighted that the sixth session is the
NA’s yearend meeting, during which the mid-term implementation of NA
resolutions on socio-economic development and State budget was reviewed.
Despite difficulties and challenges, the socio-economic
situation in 2018 and the last three years has sustained comprehensive growth.
The restructuring of the economy showed positive outcomes with all targets
reached and exceeding expectations, she noted, adding that defence and security
have been firmly safeguarded and the position of Vietnam in the region and the
world has risen.
The NA leader lauded efforts of the Government and the
effective coordination of the whole political system, the business community
and the entire society in the country’s achievements recorded in 2018 and the
past three years, while pointing out shortcomings for timely solutions.
During the session, the NA monitored the implementation of
the legislature’s resolutions on thematic supervision and question-and-answer
sessions since the beginning of the tenure, said Chairwoman Ngan.
The NA acknowledged efforts and responsibility of the
Government, the Supreme People’s Court, the Supreme People’s Procuracy and
ministries and agencies in performing their assigned tasks.
The deputies cast confidence votes on officials holding
positions elected or approved by the NA, Ngan said, highlighting the
significance of the votes in objectively assessing the performance of the
officials.
The top legislator also stressed the higher quality of the
sixth session with debates taking place in a democratic and responsible
environment, attracting the attention of people and voters nationwide.
The meeting’s outcomes have helped consolidate solidarity and
consensus needed to complete tasks set for the next year and the 2016-2020
tenure, she said.
Prior to the closing, the deputies voted to approve the Law
on amendments and supplements to laws including regulations related to
planning; the revised Law on Corruption Prevention and Control; and the revised
Law on People’s Public Security Forces.
At the closing session, the deputies adopted a resolution of
