The National Assembly (NA) Standing Committee on October 11 looked into opinions
that the public submitted to the upcoming second session of the 15th parliament, together with some other issues.
Speaking at the NA
Standing Committee’s fourth session, President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF)
Central Committee Do Van Chien said voters and people highly value the directions made by Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong at the 15th NA’s first session in July.
However, Chien noted, they
still voiced concerns about adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Presidium of the VFF
Central Committee put forth six proposals, including handling the vaccine
strategy; increasing investment in the grassroots healthcare system and
preventive medicine; thoroughly dealing with social security issues, labour,
employment, social psychology, bringing up and education of orphans, and
support for vulnerable groups; and listing medical equipment and biologicals for
testing among the commodities subject to the State's management of prices.
Voters and people
supported the policy of delaying wage increases amid major impacts of the
pandemic but called on the Party and State to raise pensions for those who
retired before 1995.
They held that the Party
and State should consider policies for assisting and encouraging frontline
forces in the pandemic combat, according to Chien./.
