Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong
joined four other candidates for the 13th National Assembly in meeting with
voters in Ha Noi’s Tay Ho District on May 9, as part of their election
campaigning.

Trong, who also
doubles as Secretary of the Central Military Party Commission and Chairman of
the 12th National Assembly, along with the four other candidates presented their
personal manifestos at the meeting.

The candidates
promised that if elected, they would do their utmost to fulfil their tasks and
contribute to renewing and improving the efficiency of the legislature’s
operations.

The candidates also
pledged to remain in close contact with the people and survey their opinions so
they could formulate policies and laws that met their voter’s aspirations and
the tasks facing the nation.

In his speech, Trong
stressed the extremely important role and task of the 13th National Assembly in
the context of a fluctuating world and domestic economy.

The entire Party and
people were sparing no efforts to implement the Resolution of the 11th National
Party Congress, accelerate the renewal process and realise the target of turning
Viet Nam into a modern, industrialised country by 2020, he said.

The leader went on to
say that to meet these targets, the 13th National Assembly needed to continue
renewing the organisation and operation of the legislature, subordinate bodies
and NA delegations.

“The most important
thing is to elect to the 13th National Assembly those who are the most worthy
and have sufficient qualifications, professionalism and capacity to accomplish
these responsibilities,” the Party chief noted.

The same day, other
candidates for the 13th National Assembly met with voters in the capital’s
districts of Dong Da, Thanh Xuan, Thuong Tin, Dong Anh, Long Bien and Me Linh
and Son Tay Town.
