Reporting at the 57th session of the National Assembly Standing Committee on the afternoon of June 14, Secretary General of the National Assembly Bui Van Cuong said that the first session of the 15th National Assembly is scheduled to open on July 20. One of the important contents of this session is personnel work.
According to Mr. Bui Van Cuong, the new point of this personnel work is that it is not carried out continuously from beginning to end, but is arranged alternately with other contents to both properly implement the authority, process, and procedures, and save time (during the time the National Assembly elects and approves personnel, relevant agencies receive, edit, and ensure the quality of draft resolutions).
