YANGON, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar's parliament, made up of two Houses, will resume its 14th session on Nov. 4, said an announcement of the parliament published on Monday.

The sessions of both House of Representatives (Lower House) and House of Nationalities (Upper House) will separately reconvene on the day's morning before the two-house Union Parliament session in the afternoon.

During its last session, which ran from July 15 to Sept. 19, 3,765 stipulations of Myanmar's state constitution-2008 were proposed by the Constitution Amendment Joint Committee (CAJC) to the Union Parliament for amendment, revoking and addition respectively.

The articles for amendment consideration include those from chapters of state leaders, legislation, judiciary, executive, military, citizens and their rights and responsibility, election and political parties as well as prescriptions during the state of emergency period.

After the CAJC report was approved by the parliament, discussions were set to continue, focusing on drafting constitution amendment bill.

Myanmar's current constitution was approved through a national referendum in 2008 after it was drawn up by the then long-convened National Convention.
