Party leader meets voters in Hanoi Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong met voters from Ba Dinh, Hoan Kiem and Tay Ho districts in Hanoi on December 1 to inform them of the fourth session of the 13th National Assembly. Voters spoke highly of the NA session outcomes. They welcomed the NA’s approval of resolutions on conducting votes of confidence on officials elected or approved by the NA or People’s Councils.

Some voters said that the NA has issued many good laws and resolutions which, however, have not quickly been translated into real life due to the lack of guiding documents. Speaking at the meetings, Trong said conducting votes of confidence had been discussed for years but yet to be implemented. He added that the Party’s decision to conduct the practice every year from 2013 and assign the NA to prepare for the implementation of the policy is in line with the country’s Constitution and laws. However, it will not be easy to implement the task, the Party leader said, stressing the need for issuing complete, coherent guiding documents to prevent negative acts during the process of implementation. The Party chief also highlighted the importance of the resolution of the 11th Party Central Committee’s fourth meeting on urgent issues in Party building, which he said is not only vital to the Party’s survival in the current tenure, but also to its long-term development. As building the Party means building organisations and developing the people, the resolution needs to be implemented regularly over a long period of time with the combination of various measures to ensure the strong, transparent and sustainable development of the Party and the whole nation, he added.
