Head of the National Assembly (NA)’s Law Committee Nguyen Khac Dinh delivered a report on the verification of the number of Government members, in which the committee agreed with the Prime Minister’s proposal as this structure accords with the legislature’s resolution on the structure and organisation of the Government, and proved effective in the previous tenure.
