NA Permanent Vice Chairman Tran Thanh Man underlined the urgency of finalising the draft revised Law on Social Insurance. He urged the NA's Committee for Social Affairs, the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, and relevant bodies to work collaboratively and proactively to ensure the law's approval during this session.

He proposed that the Government solicit further feedback from relevant authorities on several key matters, including the National Target Programme on Cultural Development, the draft amended Capital Law, and the draft revised Law on Organisation of People's Courts.

The agenda will include the NA's draft Resolution on piloting a new model of urban administration for Da Nang city, along with specific development mechanisms and policies; and a similar draft Resolution proposing supplementary development mechanisms and policies for Nghe An province.

Lawmakers will also delve into the State budget estimate for 2022 and a draft Resolution on a 2% reduction in value-added tax.
