NA Secretary-General Nguyen Hanh Phuc, who is also the Chairman of the NA Office, elaborated that at the 12th National Party Congress in late January, many State officials were not elected to the new Party Central Committee. The election of new officials is to expeditiously implement the congress’s resolution. 
Phuc said that the first session of the 14th NA will continue to elect State personnel for the 14th tenure in line with the law, explaining that while the tenure for the leading positions is five years, the NA can still exercise its right to remove the personnel under the Law on the Organisation of the National Assembly. 
Some new Government members will also be voted at the 13th NA’s last meeting, he added.
Deputies will spend 10 and a half days to consider and make decisions on the State personnel issue during the 13th tenure parliament.
In addition, the legislature is expected to scrutinise and approve the draft law on information access; the revised law on signing, joining and implementing international treaties; the revised press law; the revised law on child protection, care and education; the revised law on pharmaceuticals; and the revised law on export and import duties. The last session of the 13th NA will also spend time to review the five-year performance of State, NA and Government agencies. 
The agenda also consists of a draft law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the laws on value added tax, special consumption tax and tax management.
