The voter conference at work is an important step in the bargaining process, with practical significance in promoting voters' mastery, ensuring democracy, publicity and transparency in the nomination of candidates.

The introduction and nomination of the 16th National Assembly delegates of the National Assembly is of special significance, a great honor, and at the same time, a political responsibility as well as contributing to enhancing the position, prestige and influence of the 16th National Assembly in many aspects.

The leaders of the National Assembly University directly participating in the activities of the National Assembly will link theory with practice, thereby making practical contributions to summarizing practice, developing theory, improving the quality of training, scientific research and policy consultation.

At the same time, when VNU-Soviet universities staff participate in the National Assembly, it will contribute to enhancing the voice of intellectuals and scientists of leading higher education institutions in the highest state power agency.

With the strength of scientific research, policy making and strategic consulting, delegates from the VNU have the opportunity to participate more deeply in the process of law-making and policies in key areas such as education - training, science - technology, innovation, digital transformation and high-quality human resource development.

In addition, the participation of VNU-Shenhen personnel at the National Assembly also contributes to more closely connecting management practice, training, research with legislative and supervisory activities, thereby promptly reflecting the issues arising from the practice of the higher education system and science and technology. This is an important basis for the State's policies and guidelines to become increasingly practical, feasible and highly influential.

The presence of National Assembly deputies and the Hanoi People's Council from VNU also has the meaning of spreading the value of knowledge, scientific spirit and sustainable development thinking in the process of national policy making; contributing to affirming the pioneering role of VNU-Hanoi in implementing the mission of talent training, top-notch research and policy consulting.
