NEC Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan
The 21 member NEC was established at the 13th NA’s 10th session, including one Chair, four Vice Chairs and 16 members. The proposal named two Vice Chairs - Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and former Vice President Nguyen Thi Doan and 12 members for the dismissal. President Tran Dai Quang later presented a report asking for the discharge of former Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung from the position as Vice Chairman of the Council of National Defence and Security. He also proposed relieving former NA Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung and former Minister of National Defence Phung Quang Thanh from their duty as member of the Council. Lawmakers then discussed in groups the dismissal proposals. The NA is to continue working on Monday, April 11.
