Flexible, creative organization of NA activities
At this meeting, the NA and its agencies have optimized the meeting time to complete its agenda. Many ways were found to make online discussions more efficient.

NA deputies increased their contributions. 3,000 opinions were shared at 8 rounds of group discussions, and 500 rounds of NA deputies spoke at 16 plenary sessions.
The deputy delegation of HCM City attended online while other deputies met in person. For the first time, deputies used e-voting. This was not just an adaptation to the pandemic situation. It also served as a test for future online meetings of the NA.
