As Chairwoman, she presided over sessions of the National Assembly of Vietnam and managed legislative agendas, delegation visits, and committee coordination involving the Standing Committee of the National Assembly, the Committee for Foreign Affairs, the Committee for Economic Affairs, and the Judicial Committee of the National Assembly. Her tenure saw interactions with provincial delegations from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hai Phong, and oversight functions related to agencies such as the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of National Defence (Vietnam), the Ministry of Finance (Vietnam), and the Supreme People's Court of Vietnam.
During her leadership, the legislature deliberated reforms touching on issues administered by the State Bank of Vietnam, regulatory frameworks linked to the Law on Enterprises (Vietnam), revisions to the Law on Investment (Vietnam), and amendments to the Criminal Code (Vietnam). Debates in the Assembly addressed state-owned enterprise restructuring connected to Viettel, PetroVietnam, and Vietnam Airlines, tax measures involving the General Department of Taxation (Vietnam), anti-corruption initiatives associated with the Central Steering Committee on Anti-corruption, and legal instruments concerning land administration referencing the Land Law (Vietnam).
