Closing the session, NA Chairman Nguyen Phu Trong called on the NA Standing Committee, the Council for Nationalities and other NA committees to coordinate with pertinent agencies in the execution of the NA’s resolution on the law and ordinance making program during its term and in 2008.

The top legislator also said the government and relevant agencies need to quickly issue documents instructing the execution of laws while continuing to check the enforcement of laws so as to make prompt adjustments and revisions to inappropriate regulations.

While noting the outcomes of the question and answer session, the NA Chairman also asked the Government and government ministers to do what they had promised in order to better their performance.

He appreciated the opinions and comments sent by voters nationwide, describing these as valuable contributions to the nation’s renewal and development cause.
