Vietnamese Parliament concludes interpellation sessions

The interrogations of government members will focus on areas such as science and technology, education and training, culture, sports and tourism, health, labor, war invalids and social affairs, as well as information and communication.

The question and answer sessions will culminate with the intervention of the President of the Legislature, Vuong Dinh Hue, to give way to the discussion of the draft Defense Industry, Security and Industrial Mobilization Law in the afternoon session.

In addition, the VNA news agency expected that deputies will evaluate the proposal that amends and supplements several articles of the Real Estate Auction Law, which reviews and updates the types of goods that must be auctioned in accordance with current regulations.

Yesterday, the Vietnamese Parliament heard, among other things, the intervention of Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung, who announced the establishment of cooperation mechanisms with cross-border social media platforms to eliminate harmful and false information.

Responding to questions related to the spread of misleading advertising of functional foods and pharmaceutical products on online platforms, Manh Hung said regulations have been issued regarding the responsibilities of all parties involved in this area.

Regarding internet access in remote and mountainous areas, he stated that 420 areas still need to be covered, a task that is expected to be completed by June 2024. However, he stressed that 4G coverage in Vietnam is currently at 99.8 percent, higher than 99.4 percent in upper middle-income countries.

Also yesterday, public security chief To Lam responded to lawmakers’ questions and reiterated that there are no prohibited areas or exceptions in the fight against corruption, in accordance with the leading position of the Communist Party and its general secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.

The general emphasized that the police are actively promoting the work of detecting, investigating and dealing with corruption and negative cases.

The sixth regular session of the Vietnamese National Assembly began on October 23rd and will last until November 28th and is divided into two phases, the first of which ends on the 10th.
