Speaking at the opening ceremony, National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung stressed that the 11th meeting offered a chance to look back on the past five years, assess the country’s socio-economic, defence, security, diplomatic and judicial affairs, and put discuss the agenda for the remainder of 2016 and in the following years.
"In the last meeting of 13th National Assembly, we have a big task and huge responsibility. Therefore, I have the honour of asking the government, the NA Council for Ethnic Affairs, and NA committees and agencies to spend time and efforts in preparing thorough reports to submit to the National Assembly, to intensify co-ordination to ensure the scheduled agenda is completed. I also request that NA deputies contribute quality ideas to make the meeting a success. I hereby declare the 13th National Assembly’s 11th meeting open." - Nguyen Sinh Hung, National Assembly Chairman
