VietNamNet Bridge – Worries over tension in the East Sea and national sovereignty and the hope that the National Assembly (NA) will be lucid in selecting state and government leaders are among the expectations of constituents sent to the 13th NA.

These expectations were presented by Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Huynh Dam this morning, July 21, after the opening ceremony of the 13th NA’s first season.

Through the Vietnam Fatherland Front, the constituents expressed their discontentment on Chinese ship’s intrusion into Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf, which made adverse impacts on the friendship and cooperative ties between Vietnam and China.

They were also worried of the unsteady development of the national economy and matters associated with land management and natural resource exploration, particularly the dependence of many economic sectors to foreign technology and materials, inflation, environmental pollution and food hygiene.

Constituents asked the Party and the State to continue speeding up renovation, building a clean and strong political system, with a contingent of responsible, pure and talented officials, bring into play democracy and strengthening the power of great unity, ensuring security and firmly defending the country’s independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity.

The people also expected that the new NA will be lucid in selecting talented and virtuous people to assume positions in the new cabinet. They proposed that elected officials to send their action programs to the Vietnam Fatherland Front.

Constituents asked the NA to urgently amend the Constitution 1992 and build other important laws to timely legalize the Party’s policies and the people’s aspirations.

Constituents remarked that some NA deputies of the 12th term did not well fulfill their promises to the people, did not regularly meet and listen to the people’s opinions and did not participate well in the NA’s operations.

They wished deputies of the new NA to well implement their action plans, which had been represented to constituents, and meet with the people regularly.

Constituents asked the NA to further concretize regulations on the Presidency in the Constitution so the President can actually play the important role in the State apparatus.
