The deputies of the National Assembly are raising many hot topics of socio-economic life in the discussion session, broadcast live this morning, November 3.
At the beginning of the session, delegates Nguyen Thi Lan (Hanoi) took the time to speak about innovation, application of science and technology and economic development.
Although in the past, the development of universities and research institutes has actively supported economic development, helped promote the startup movement, but the “spin-off” technology origin movement has not yet developed. coat of arms. In order to promote the creative potential and great origin of the universities, the delegates proposed having legal policies to encourage and support companies of technological origin in these universities and research institutes. in the first place, to establish the law of science and technology.
Delegate Trieu Thi Thu Phuong (Bac Kan) mentioned that the protection and development of forests are particularly important for the prevention of natural disasters, especially in the context of the main impacts of climate change in Vietnam. Consequently, the policy of allocating forests to households is an important measure to maintain forests associated with economic development and increase people’s incomes.
However, according to delegates, this policy has exposed many problems in the implementation and implementation process. The level of forest zoning and protection and payment for the forest environment is outdated, no longer adequate, delegates suggest changes to encourage the implementation of this policy.
The delegates also wanted the National Assembly to soon approve the national program of goals on poverty reduction and development of ethnic minority areas for the next 5 years so that implementation can be achieved continuously and effectively.
Representative Nguyen Phi Thuong (Hanoi) mentioned the problem of traffic congestion in the two largest cities in the country today, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The two cities are becoming megacities, each with 10 million people with many similarities, increasing the mechanical population each year by about 200,000 people, putting great pressure on infrastructure, especially traffic. For example, a report from Ho Chi Minh City shows that the annual damage caused by traffic congestion in the city is approximately $ 6 billion.
Urban rail development is an urgent issue, but projects in both cities have problems, slow progress, large capital teams, which generates frustration in the public opinion.
Citing the typical project is the Cat Linh – Ha Dong railway, according to delegates, the conclusion of the state audit has pointed out many problems that not only the Ministry of Transport or Hanoi can solve. The delegates wondered, without knowing the term of the project is that the operation at the end of this year is feasible, after many times it has to be delayed and delayed.
“With the Cat Linh – Ha Dong railway, how to solve the problems so that there is no ninth time I miss the meeting with the people? It is necessary to evaluate and learn from the experience of borrowing ODA for the construction of urban railways, be careful with the loan conditions. And investment in urban railways is only effective when the entire line is built, not a section of the line, “concluded the Thuong delegates.
Current events: Rain, floods, landslides were of concern to many delegates.
Delegate Nguyen Lan Hieu (An Giang) wondered, the state encouraged afforestation but still allowed the implementation of large projects in the core of the forest, causing many forests, many mountains to be “whitewashed”. other hydroelectric plants continue to be licensed in the same river, stream …
National Assembly member Nguyen Thi Xuan (Dak Lak) raised the problem, the past practice of natural disasters, water safety should be associated with disaster prevention, energy security, lake construction, hydroelectric dams . small and medium.
There are many opinions that the main objective of small hydropower plants is to legally exploit wood and forest resources. Many investors, when they are licensed to do small hydroelectric plants, sell the project immediately after that. It is then when the resource has been used to the maximum.
From there, the delegates proposed re-evaluating the issue of licensing small and medium-sized hydroelectric plants, counting projects sold and transferred to verify that these hydroelectric projects are a “first line” for Deforestar. They said that it is necessary to consider the elimination of small and medium hydroelectric projects from the electricity plan until 2030.
