In his opening remarks, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man emphasized that under the comprehensive leadership of the Party, the close guidance of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat, along with the concerted efforts of the entire political system and the unity of the Party, the military, and the people, Vietnam has achieved significant, comprehensive, and historically meaningful accomplishments. The 13th Party Central Committee Conference was successfully concluded, marking a crucial step in preparing for the 14th Party Congress and shaping the strategic vision and leadership direction for the nation in the new revolutionary era.
Additionally, meaningful activities were organized to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the first general election of the Vietnamese National Assembly. Therefore, the 10th Session not only serves as a review of the term but also marks the beginning of a new development period. The Chairman noted that during this approximately 40-day session, the National Assembly will consider, discuss, and decide on a substantial workload, including many strategically important matters.
The National Assembly is expected to review and adopt 53 laws and resolutions. “This is the largest legislative workload in the history of National Assembly sessions, vividly demonstrating the principle that the law must lead the way, paving the path for innovation and using the people’s lives and interests as the measure of policy.” Emphasizing this, the Chairman stated that these laws cover almost all critical areas, addressing many new and continuously evolving issues. They aim to promptly institutionalize the Party’s new policies and resolutions, focusing on removing institutional bottlenecks, particularly in land, investment, planning, construction, environment, and energy, as well as regulating the corporate bond and real estate markets.
At this session, the National Assembly will hear the report from the Presidium of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee summarizing voters’ opinions and suggestions submitted to the 10th Session of the 15th National Assembly. They will also review the Standing Committee’s report on the supervision of voter petition resolution, citizen reception, and the handling of complaints and denunciations sent to the National Assembly in 2025. The Assembly will consider the supervision report and adopt a resolution on the implementation of environmental protection policies and laws since the Environmental Protection Law of 2020 took effect.

The National Assembly will discuss the draft report on the work of the 15th term and review the work reports for the 2021-2026 term from the President, the Government, the National Assembly Standing Committee, the Council for Ethnic Affairs, National Assembly committees, the Supreme People’s Court, the Supreme People’s Procuracy, and the State Audit Office. Based on an objective assessment of achievements, limitations, causes, and lessons learned, the National Assembly will consider and adopt a resolution summarizing the work of the 2021-2026 term, proposing measures to continue innovating and enhancing the effectiveness of these agencies’ operations in the 2026-2031 term. Additionally, the Assembly will review the 2025 work reports from the Government, the Chief Justice of the Supreme People’s Court, the Prosecutor General of the Supreme People’s Procuracy, and reports on anti-corruption efforts, crime prevention, legal violations, enforcement, citizen reception, and the resolution of administrative complaints and denunciations.
