Nguyen Hanh Phuc, Secretary General of the National Assembly and Head of the NA Office, said:“In this 14^th tenure, the number of reelected deputies account for 35%, the highest over the past 3 tenures. Many of the deputies are working in the justice sector. The deputies have been trained in law making processes. 94% of the deputies have had tertiary education and 62% have had postgraduate education. No tenure has such a contingent of competent deputies”.

Mr. Phuc added that top priority will be given to devising laws that enable Vietnam to integrate further into the world, create favorable environment for businesses, and fight corruption.
