The session, jointly held by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee and the Central Council of the Ho Chi Minh Vanguard Children's Union in coordination with the NA Committee for Culture and Education and the NA Office, is part of actions to enforce the 2016 Children Law.

The session is significant in promoting children's engagement in issues related to them and prompting administrations at all levels to enhance their sense of responsibility in caring for, protecting and educating children.

Participants, in the role of National Assembly deputies, engaged in discussions on how to ensure children's healthy and creative interactions in cyberspace, and the prevention and control of accidents, injuries, violence and abuse against children.

In his address, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue praised the children's participation in the session. 

He said: "The children's outstanding performance at the session shows that the hypothetical NA session is an effective model to encourage the early participation of children in socio-economic activities, thus ensuring their rights and interests and directing them to become responsible citizens and possibly future leaders. Their discussion and particularly the Resolution of the session will be the basis for the National Assembly, the Government, ministries and sectors to consider when adopting policies concerning the children." 

The National Assembly Chairman urged for better care, protection and education for children, asking NA agencies, NA deputies, and social organizations to strengthen the oversight of the exercise of children's rights. He asked relevant agencies to strengthen the implementation of policies on child care, paying special attention to orphaned children, children with disabilities,  ethnic minority children, and children of workers.
