National Assembly sets up Committee to draft amendments and supplements to Constitution
VGP – The National Assembly on Monday decided to establish a Committee to draft amendments and supplements to a number of articles of the 2013 Constitution.
The 15-member committee, led by the National Assembly Chairman, shall be responsible for compiling a draft resolution of the National Assembly on amending and supplementing a number of articles of the 2013 Constitution.
The draft resolution will be open for public comments before being finalized and submitted to the National Assembly for consideration and approval at the ongoing 9th working session.
The revision of the Constitution aims to institutionalize the Party's orientations for continued overhaul of the political system in order to create a two-tier local administration system.
The new Constitution will pay the way for Viet Nam to merge dozens of localities to reduce the number of provinces and cities to 34 from current 63.
District-level administration system will be abolished to create a two-tier local administration system (provincial and communal levels)./.
