In the context where Vietnam has just successfully organized the XIV National Party Congress and is entering a new phase of development, what are your expectations regarding the deputies of the XVI National Assembly and members of the People’s Councils for the 2026-2031 term?
In this new phase of development, the main expectation for the Vietnamese National Assembly of the XVI legislature and the People’s Councils at all levels is for them to truly become a driving force in improving the institutional framework and enhancing the quality of national governance.
This requires not only representing the will and aspirations of the people but also demonstrating strategic vision, strong professional skills, and a high sense of responsibility in making decisions about the country’s future.
It is hoped that the XVI National Assembly will carry out a profound reform of its operational methods to make them more professional, transparent, scientific, citizen-centric, and more service-oriented to the population. Deputies need to enhance their legislative capacities, especially in emerging areas such as digital economy, artificial intelligence, green transition, and circular economy.
At a time when scientific and technological advancements are evolving rapidly, the Parliament must be able to anticipate and establish a long-term legal framework to avoid the law constantly lagging behind reality.
Moreover, deputies should also strengthen their supervisory role and responsibility in making decisions on major national issues. Control activities should be concrete, focused on the effectiveness of policy implementation, and the accountability of executive bodies. At the same time, contact with voters should be renewed, notably through diversification of dialogue forms and the use of digital technologies to enhance interaction between citizens and their representatives.
As for the People’s Councils at all levels, the expectation is for them to continue improving their operational quality by being more rooted in the local development reality, especially in supervising the implementation of socio-economic development programs, urban planning, infrastructure development, and improving living conditions.
In summary, the 2026-2031 term should be one of institutional renewal, strengthening governance efficiency, and consolidating the citizens’ trust in elected bodies.
