The session, held from November 10–13, was chaired by Mr. Atsaphangthong Siphandone, Party Secretary of Vientiane and President of the Vientiane People’s Council. It brought together municipal leaders, National Assembly members representing Vientiane, council members, district authorities and representatives of relevant agencies.
During the session, council members reviewed the implementation of the 2026 socio-economic development plan and state budget over the first nine months, considered estimates for the full year and approved the capital’s strategic development plan for 2027. They also reviewed progress in implementing the National Agenda on Rural Development and Poverty Eradication.
The council approved urban master plans for Naxaithong, Hadxayfong and Pakngum districts, emphasizing the need to align local development with broader infrastructure and socio-economic plans.
Five municipal decisions were also adopted, including three new regulations covering the responsibilities of owners and guests of hotels and rental properties, the management and development of urban parking facilities, and the establishment of a municipal emergency relief fund.

Two existing decisions, covering land valuation and measures to maintain order in urban and suburban areas, were revised.
The council also reviewed annual reports and 2027 work plans from state audit, inspection, prosecution, judicial and court judgment enforcement agencies to strengthen oversight and accountability.
During the meeting, relevant authorities provided explanations on three key issues: municipal waste management, the oversight of mineral and natural resource extraction, and challenges in the education sector, particularly student dropouts and teacher shortages in Sangthong and Pakngum districts.
Public concerns also featured prominently, with the council's hotline recording 52 calls containing 61 complaints and petitions. These were forwarded to the Vientiane Administrative Committee for consideration and resolution.
The complaints covered a range of issues, including delays in issuing land titles and compensation for public infrastructure projects, concerns over compensation for the Smart City Project, illegal mining and river dredging, poor waste management, damaged roads, malfunctioning streetlights and traffic signals, and delays in the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.
Residents also raised concerns about street racing, drug-related activities, noise from entertainment venues, overloaded trucks, illegal encroachment on public land and delays in enforcing court judgments.
The session's resolutions and decisions are expected to guide Vientiane's development and improve public services, urban management and the handling of concerns raised by residents.
