A reading room inside the National Assembly (NA)’s library was inaugurated in Hanoi, on October 29.

NA Office Chairman Nguyen Hanh Phuc said with support from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and Japan’s National Assembly Library, his agency has built the reading room friendly to legislators and readers with interest.

The facility is equipped with advanced devices and divided into separated areas for online search, research, as well as for reading newspapers and magazines, among others.

Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam Fukada Hiroshi stated it would enable legislators’ easier access to knowledge and information needed during their policy-making fulfillments.

He expected the reading room to be efficiently operated, facilitating activities of the NA.

Acknowledging efforts made to boost the performance of the NA’s information centre, NA Vice Chairman Uong Chu Luu urged the NA Office to continue efforts to build an e-library.

He proposed the JICA closely work with the NA Office for further cooperation and assistance.-VNA
