The leader said Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha has been assigned to represent the Government, clarify issues related to the body's management work, and directly answer the questions of NA deputies at the end of the question-and-answer session.

During the 7th session's socio-economic discussion on May 29, deputies raised seven issues related to the field of natural resources and environment, four in industry and trade, and two concerning culture, sports, and tourism, with Deputy PMs and ministers addressing some of these concerns. To avoid duplication of questioning content, deputies should only engage in exchanges of these matters if they deem it necessary, recommended the top legislator.

He went on expressing the belief that ministers and heads of sectors, through the questioning of the NA, will have additional information to improve their leadership and management, creating real changes in related sectors./.
