Law makers discussed specific plans and measures in order to create a consensus during the building of laws.

Under a resolution adopted by the National Assembly Standing Committee last December, the 12th NA will build 128 law projects, including 93 official projects and 35 preparatory ones, in the next four years with 54 of them to be made in 2008 alone.

The fifth session of the 12th NA is scheduled for May 2009, where 13 bills will be submitted for NA approval, including laws on administrative procedures, urban planning and secured transaction as well as several amended laws.
