Viet Nam’s National Assembly plays a key role in institutionalising development orientations and strengthening the political and legal foundations for long-term growth of the country, according to Assistant Professor Joe Pateman from York University in Canada, a researcher in politics and international political economy.

Vice Chairman of the National Assembly (NA) Tran Quang Phuong met with Japan’s parliamentary leaders in Tokyo and visited several localities as part of his working trip to the country from September 25-30.
