Deputies spoke highly the changes to the National Assembly Q&A sessions.
"During the Q&A sessions, ministers answered questions from the deputies until they had proper answers to each issue. Issues raised in the session and form of the Q&As were also different from previous years." - Do Van Ve, National Assembly, Thai Binh Province.
"The National Assembly reviewed all issues to see whether they were fully addressed. Issues raised in the session were not restricted. Deputies could ask about all related aspects of those issues." - Nguyen Ngoc Hoa, National Assembly, Ho Chi Minh City.
