Law-makers also recommended full coverage of healthcare costs for poor ethnic minority people in special disadvantaged communities.

Regarding the bill of revised nationality law, most of the Ethnic Council members agreed with details of the bill in line with national interests. They made comments on various issues, including nationality principles, documents demonstrating Vietnamese citizenship, dealing with Vietnamese citizens bearing another nationality, responsibilities of relevant agencies, and others.
Most of the legislators agreed on the principle of one nationality, but added that there should be more open regulations to deal with the country’s trend of international integration.

Law-makers also recommended full coverage of healthcare costs for poor ethnic minority people in special disadvantaged communities.

They also proposed terms of medicare cards for the poor expand to three years from the current one year due to numerous difficulties in supplying the cards for the correct target people.

Representatives of ethnic minorities in the legislation are scheduled to discuss several bills related to road traffic rules, revised, executing civil court sentences, cadres and public employees, special consumption taxes, revised, high technology and biological diversity.
