The event was attended by NA Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue, Standing Vice Chairman Tran Thanh Man, and vice chairmen Nguyen Khac Dinh and Nguyen Duc Hai.
On behalf of the Emperor and Government of Japan, Japanese Ambassador to Vietnam Yamada Takio announced the decision and handed over the order to Ngan.
Yamada emphasised the former parliament leader’s enormous contributions to the reinforcement of the friendship between the two countries, while serving in different positions, from Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs to Vice Chair and then Chair of the NA.
As Vice Chairwoman and Chairwoman of the NA, Ngan promoted exchanges between the parliaments of the two countries and also helped enhance political trust as seen in the visits to Vietnam by the speakers and vice speakers of the House of Representatives and House of Councillors of Japan, along with other high-ranking leaders of the Northeast Asian nation.
Expressing her pride to receive the order, former Chairwoman Ngan called this a great honour reflecting Japan’s evaluation of her performance and wished the Vietnam - Japan relations will continue to flourish in the future.
