Before the opening day, Secretary General of the National Assembly and Head of the National Assembly Office Bui Van Cuong emphasized that the 6th session is very important, with many tasks and requirements different from the usual year-end session because this is also a mid-term session to review and evaluate the results of implementing the National Assembly's resolutions after half of the term.

From there, identify key tasks and solutions, update and supplement new requirements to suit the situation and be determined to successfully achieve the goals of the entire term.

Therefore, in this session, the National Assembly will perform both tasks: assessing the situation and results of 2023, determining the plan, tasks and key solutions for 2024, and assessing the situation and results of the first half of the term and the tasks that must be focused on in the second half of the term.

The workload of the National Assembly in terms of legislation, supervision, and decision on important national issues has increased significantly with very high requirements and demands on progress and quality.

It can be said that the agenda and resolutions of the National Assembly at the 6th session are of great significance, contributing to ensuring the basic completion of the tasks of the 15th term.
