Following the Q&A session, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son and Minister of Health Dao Hong Lan engaged in discussion with the child delegates on these topics.
In his address, NA Chairman Man highlighted the role of the "Children’s NA" initiative in encouraging early participation of children in political and social activities. He expressed his hope that the event will inspire in children a strong desire to contribute to society, continuously improve themselves, and acquire knowledge to become responsible citizens.
