Secretary General of the National Assembly Nguyen Hanh Phuc said that during the process of ministers answering questions, the Deputy Prime Ministers in charge of the field can participate in explaining and clarifying the content of the delegates' concerns. The Prime Minister will speak on the morning of November 17, lasting about half a day.

On the afternoon of November 17, if the National Assembly agrees, the vote to pass the draft Law on Associations will be carried out. Previously, according to Minister of Home Affairs Le Vinh Tan, due to many opinions on the draft law, the Drafting Committee requested more time to study, complete, and submit the draft in the next session instead of passing it at this session.
