Can Tho (VNA) – National Assembly (NA) Chairman Tran Thanh Man, together with the delegation of NA deputies in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho, met with voters in Vi Thanh ward on December 13 afternoon shortly after the 15th legislature’s 10th session.

Voters highly praised the outcomes of the 10th session, describing it as a historic sitting. They particularly welcomed the NA’s adoption of a resolution introducing specific mechanisms and policies to remove obstacles in the implementation of the land law; amendments to education-related laws; and resolutions aimed at improving the quality of education and training, healthcare, population work and development for the 2026–2035 period.

Several voters called on the Government to study and submit to the NA an early adjustment to raise the base salary in 2026. Other concerns raised included the upgrading of transport infrastructure, planning work, and social insurance policies.

Responding to voters’ views, Chairman Man noted that the legislature, at its 10th session, passed 51 laws and 39 resolutions, including eight normative resolutions, accounting for nearly 30% of all laws and normative resolutions adopted during the entire 15th tenure.

The laws and resolutions approved at the session addresses the most pressing issues of social life, such as housing, healthcare and administrative procedures, he said, stressing that they have a direct and positive impact on people’s daily lives and place citizens’ interests at the centre of policymaking.

“All cumbersome administrative procedures that cause inconvenience to the people must be dealt with,” the top legislator underlined.

He requested that, following the meeting, Can Tho consolidate voters’ opinions and recommendations, with a focus on decisively eliminating suspended or delayed planning, reforming administrative procedures, particularly those related to land and the issuance of land-use right certificates, and upgrading transport infrastructure.

Chairman Man also urged the city to review and promptly repair any temporary or dilapidated houses to ensure people can welcome the Lunar New Year (Tet) in decent homes, while stepping up the construction of charity houses in line with the Vietnam Fatherland Front’s campaigns.
