Vice Chairman of the NA Office Vu Minh Tuan told a press conference on the day that the meeting lasted for 18 days, featuring both in-person and online working sessions.

With a swift and serious spirit and consensus, the NA has completed its set programme, Tuan said, adding that a total of seven laws and 13 resolutions had been adopted during the meeting.  

The law-makers also mulled over four bills, supervised the implementation of the NA’s resolutions and made decisions on socio-economic, financial, budget and personnel issues.
