New Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha

“My feelings right now are very emotional. I am very grateful to the leaders of the Party and state for trusting me, especially today with the vote by the National Assembly deputies showing their confidence. That is a great motivation for me to try my best in all positions and fulfil my responsibilities," Ha said at the sideline of the National Assembly.

Showing tremendous enthusiasm, new DPM Ha said that he is very interested in issues relating to natural resources, the environment, and climate change.
