A number of HCMC's voters expressed their ideas on the Law on Associations, suggesting that the NA consider the creation of a legal framework for associations to promote their role in society, while making clear regulations on the financial sources for non-typical associations.
They also raised concern about the State capital loss at State-owned groups and corporations, as well as the fight against corruption, the process of personnel appointment, environmental pollution and climate change response.
Some voters also voiced their opinions on current urgent matters related to LSD drugs sold in schools, pilot curriculums of the Ministry of Education and Training, and employment support to the disadvantaged youngsters.
President Quang said that the drafting of the Law on Associations aims to institutionalise policies of the Party and specify regulations of the Constitution 2013.
He clarified that the right of forming associations is among citizens’ basic rights, which has been stated in the Constitution. The State ensures and creates favourable conditions for citizens to practise the right, thus promoting the role of the associations in the national construction and defence, he declared.
On the socio-economic performance in the first nine months of 2016, the State leader stressed that the country is experiencing a recovery and development trend, with low inflation and rising foreign direct investment.
President Quang also informed voters that anti-corruption work has seen positive results and will be drastically carried out in the future.
