At the NA Standing Committee’s meeting on Tuesday, Secretary General of the National Assembly Nguyen Hanh Phuc suggested that the first stage take place online over nine days in late October, with lawmakers then meeting for another nine days in early November. He said Q&A sessions should be organized over three days during the first stage. However, the heads of several NA committees proposed holding Q&A sessions in the second stage to help heat up the agenda. Mr. Phuc praised the success of the mid-year session - the first to be held in both teleconference and in-person forms due to COVID-19 - with the entire agenda completed and ten laws and 21 resolutions adopted.
