President promulgates new holiday, changes to law

HA NOI— President Nguyen Minh Triet announced his approval of amendments and additions to articles of the Labour Code and the Law on Organisation of the National Assembly at a press conference in Ha Noi yesterday.

The National Assembly approved the changes in April during the official end of its 11th session.

Under the presidential order promulgating the new law, Article 73 of the Labour Code states employees will get a statutory holiday, effective immediately, on March 10 of the lunar calendar to commemorate the Hung Kings, founders of the nation. Workers now receive nine days off to celebrate national holidays and festivals throughout the year.

Amendments to the Law on National Assembly Organisation focus on forming new committees. The establishment of these groups aims to facilitate implementation of Party resolutions, anti-corruption laws and the State Budget Law, while gradually reforming the organisation and operational procedures of NA agencies.

Changes to this law will come into effect July 1 during the next NA session.
