The Chairman also remarked that due to these reasons, the focus of this 2021 Regular Spring Session will be on democracy and human rights.

The importance of the media and public and their participation and oversight was also stressed.
The Chairman remarked The Law on State Great Hural Oversight should be discussed and approved this spring session, and that the amendments to the Constitution have given members of parliament the right to relinquish their budget allotment and appointment powers, and thus expand their main legislative and oversight functions. The Chairman noted he has established a working group on drafting legislation on State Great Hural oversight, to be discussed this session, with the aim of strengthening parliamentary oversight to firmly impede all wrongdoings.
The agenda of the spring session includes the Legislations on State and Local Property, The National Wealth Fund, The Legal Status of the Capital City and Towns and Villages, Environmental Protection, Land, Minerals, Education and Social Insurance, Pensions and Benefits.
