The top legislator asked NA agencies and organisations to make efforts to adapt to the current situation and fulfil the tasks of the remaining months of 2020.

She emphasised that after careful consideration, the NASC decided not to conduct the question and answersession at this meeting so that Government members can have more time to handle issues arising due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In the morning session, under the chair of NA Vice Chairman Uong Chu Luu, the NASC discussed controversial issues of the revised draft law on residence and the draft law on amendments and supplements to several articles of the law on handling administrative violations.

The meeting will conclude on August 12.
