The second session of the 13th National Assembly wrapped up in Hanoi on Nov. 26 after 29 days of working.

Addressing the closing ceremony, National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung said the NA reviewed the implementation of the five-year socio-economic development plan for 2006-2010 period and the socio-economic development plan and State budget estimates and allocations in 2011.

NA deputies questioned four ministers and the Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam, with a number of deputy Prime Ministers and other ministers explaining related issues

The Prime Minister also answered deputies’ questions and made clear a number of major issues on the Government’s management work. The NA’s Q&A session was further streamlined to be more practical, focusing on issues of voters’ concern in a democratic, frank, responsible and constructive manner.

NA Chairman Hung said, the National Assembly made progress in preparing for the session and presiding over meetings to uphold the collective brainpower and sense of responsibility of agencies and National Assembly deputies.
