Three parliamentary sessions this week will be broadcast live on national radio and television. 

This is among the key items in the second working week of the ongoing 10th session of the National Assembly.

According to the agenda, this morning lawmakers will hear the presentation and assessment reports on three legislative proposals: the Law on Temporary Detention, Custody, and Movement Restrictions; the amended Law on Execution of Criminal Judgments; and amendments to the Law on Judicial Records.

The Assembly will also receive explanatory, revised, and feedback reports, followed by plenary discussions on four draft laws: the Law on Extradition, the Law on Transfer of Sentenced Persons, the Law on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters, and the Law on Mutual Legal Assistance in Civil Matters.

Three parliamentary working days this week – October 28, 29, and 30 – will be broadcast live nationwide via television and radio.

Tomorrow, the National Assembly will spend the entire day reviewing the oversight report on the implementation of environmental protection policies and laws since the 2020 Environmental Protection Law came into effect.

Over the next two days, lawmakers will discuss the results of the 2025 socio-economic development plan and projections for 2026, as well as the implementation of the National Assembly’s resolutions on the five-year development plan (2021–2025), focusing on economic restructuring and key development targets.

The Assembly will also hear reports from the government, the Chief Justice, and the Prosecutor General on the enforcement of the Constitution, laws, and National Assembly resolutions, as well as ordinances and Standing Committee resolutions in 2025.

A topic attracting significant public interest is the report on issuing legal documents under the Assembly’s authority to handle issues related to state apparatus restructuring, promote decentralization and delegation of power, and resolve legal inconsistencies that hinder implementation.

On October 30, the National Assembly will begin its deliberations on the 2025 state budget, as well as the 2026 budget estimates and proposed allocation plan for the central government budget.

Discussion topics include the 2026–2028 financial and budget plans, the mid-term public investment plan, the 2025 budget implementation report, and the 2026 financial plans of off-budget national financial funds.

On the morning of October 31, the National Assembly will hear the presentation and assessment of several important legal proposals: amendments to the Law on National Defense Industry, Security, and Mobilization Industry; the Law on Cybersecurity; the revised Law on State Secrets Protection; amendments to ten laws related to national security and public order; revisions to the Law on International Treaties; the Law on Digital Transformation; the amended Law on High Technology; and amendments to the Law on Technology Transfer.
