HANOI - Vietnam's National Assembly (NA) announced NA permanent vice-chairman Tran Thanh Man will be in charge of the work of the NA on Thursday, a few days after former chairman Vuong Dinh Hue resigned, local media reported. 

During the NA extraordinary session on Thursday, the legislators assigned politburo member Man to be in charge of the NA and NA Standing Committee's activities until the new NA chairman is elected following regulations, according to Vietnam News Agency.

Man was elected as the permanent NA vice chairman in April 2021.
