The top legislator expressed confidence that in 2026, journalists will continue to promptly and fully report National Assembly activities. “In particular, the press needs to strongly disseminate the new determination and new spirit throughout the Party, the people, and the armed forces in implementing the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress as well as the election of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and deputies to People's Councils at all levels for the 2026-2031 term," Mr. Man said.

He called for more reports to reflect the renewed National Assembly activities, identifying legislative work as a "breakthrough of breakthroughs" to lead the way.
