Senior officials at Vietnam's National Assembly have stressed the need for deputies to strengthen their connections with voters and deliver on campaign promises, signaling a broader push to enhance public trust in the legislative process.
The Standing Committee is advocating for higher-quality and more accessible information about the National Assembly and People's Councils to reach wider audiences. The emphasis on transparency and communication reflects growing recognition that lawmakers must maintain closer ties with the constituents they represent.
The committee is also developing the 2027 legislative programme, laying the groundwork for the year's parliamentary agenda. Meanwhile, the National Assembly has addressed emerging governance challenges, including reports of negligence in managing forestry and agricultural land—issues that require closer oversight and enforcement.
The initiatives underscore a broader effort to strengthen institutional accountability within Vietnam's legislative system. By focusing on voter engagement, transparency, and better management of natural resources, lawmakers aim to rebuild public confidence in the National Assembly's work.
