Participants, in the role of NA 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.
Opening the event, Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee and President of the Central Council of the Ho Chi Minh Vanguard Children's Union Nguyen Pham Duy Trang said that the session is expected to give children better understanding on the political system and the State apparatus as well as important activities such as constitutional and legislative activities and the decision making process for important matters of the country as well as the supreme supervision of the NA, which is the highest organ of State power that represents the people's will and aspirations.
It also offers a chance for the children to raise their voice on children-related issues, seek solutions for children's own problems and inspires them to become a future leader, she said.
Trang said that the agenda of the session was chosen by the children representatives themselves based on ideas from more than 41,000 children representing 25 million children across the country.
