It holds particular importance as it is aimed at promptly institutionalizing the policies and conclusions of the Party Central Committee and its Politburo and Secretariat, especially those recently adopted at the 11th plenum of the Party Central Committee.

The 9th session is being held in two stages, with the first from May 5 - 29 and the second from June 11 - 30.

It holds particular importance as it is aimed at promptly institutionalizing the policies and conclusions of the Party Central Committee and its Politburo and Secretariat, especially those recently adopted at the 11th plenum of the Party Central Committee. Notably, the focus will be placed on the amendment and supplement of the Constitution and relevant laws to facilitate the streamlining of the organizational apparatus, the restructuring of administrative units, and the organization of two-level local administration.

It will also seek to thoroughly remove institutional barriers and obstacles, thereby creating a clear legal framework and solid foundation for development, addressing bottlenecks, mobilizing resources, and promoting decentralization and delegation of authority in association with streamlining the apparatus and generating new development space for localities across the country.

This time, the legislature is expected to consider and decide on 54 contents on constitutional and legislative work, including three resolutions on constitutional work and 51 laws and resolutions on legislative work; 14 groups of issues on socio-economic, state budget and supervision affairs, and other important matters. In addition, eight groups of contents will be sent to lawmakers for study, as a basis for exercising the right to supervise and consider the contents according to regulations.
