HIGH CONSENT ON RENEWAL OF REGULAR MEETING TIME FRAME

At the meeting, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council gave opinions on the expected content and agenda of the 2024 mid-year regular session of the 18th Provincial People's Council and the plan to meet voters before and after the session.

Accordingly, based on the opinions of the Provincial People's Council Party Delegation and discussions at the regular meeting, the Provincial People's Council Standing Committee agreed to choose to renew the regular session time in mid-2024, specifically shortening the organization time from 2.5 days as before for regular sessions to 2 days, expected to be held on July 9 and 10, 2024.

This innovation of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council received high consensus from the leaders of the Provincial People's Committee and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Nghe An province.

As planned, on the morning of July 9, after the opening program, the meeting will conduct two contents: listening to reports presented at the meeting and then dividing into 4 groups for discussion. In the afternoon of the same day, the discussion will be held in the hall.

On the morning of July 10, the session will hold a question and answer session; this content may last until the early afternoon of the same day. Afterwards, delegates will review and vote on resolutions before concluding.

At the working session, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council, leaders of the Provincial People's Council committees; leaders of the Provincial People's Committee, and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Nghe An province agreed that it is necessary to make improvements in methods to improve the quality of group discussions at regular sessions of the Provincial People's Council.

Deputy Head of the Provincial People's Council's Legal Committee Tran Dinh Toan suggested that for group discussions, it is necessary to focus on discussing the contents of draft resolutions submitted to the session; and for discussions at the hall, it is necessary to focus on discussing the socio-economic situation of the province.

Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Hong Vinh suggested that the content should be oriented in the direction that delegates discuss content related to reports submitted to the meeting, especially giving comments on draft resolutions related to the impact of policies to be submitted to the meeting for promulgation on localities in group discussions.

Another issue that delegates are very interested in is the content of the question and answer session. Accordingly, the content will also be innovated compared to before, instead of choosing specific fields and sectors for questioning, it is expected to be organized in the direction of expanding into groups of issues and leaders of many departments and sectors will also answer questions.

Representing the Standing Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Nghe An province attending the meeting, comrade Nguyen Duc Thanh - Vice Chairman of the Provincial Fatherland Front Committee highly appreciated the innovation of the content of the questioning in an open direction; thereby requesting the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council to determine the questioning issue early so that the Provincial People's Council delegates have time to survey and serve the questioning; at the same time, the agencies assigned to answer the questions have time to prepare carefully and qualitatively.

This is also the issue raised by Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council Nguyen Nhu Khoi. He suggested that the Provincial People's Council committees should proactively research and advise the Provincial People's Council Standing Committee to soon "finalize" the groups of issues selected for questioning at the meeting.

Also at the working session, comrade Nguyen Nhu Khoi requested the Culture - Social Committee of the Provincial People's Council to soon conduct a survey to have more realistic, vivid and practical data to serve the upcoming explanation session organized by the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Council on compliance with the law on occupational safety and hygiene in industrial parks, industrial clusters and craft villages.

On the other hand, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council also requested the Standing Committee and the Provincial People's Council Committees to continue to maintain and follow up on the implemented work contents and issued resolutions, especially important resolutions to improve the effectiveness of implementation in practice.
