The decision was made based on the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam; the Law on Organisation of the National Assembly No. 57/2014/QH13 amended and supplemented by the Law No. 65/2020/QH14; the NA Standing Committee's Working Regulations; the Politburo's opinion in Official Dispatch No. 9140-CV/VPTW dated January 31, 2024 of the Party Central Committee's Office on personnel affairs; the opinion of the Presidium of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee in Official Dispatch No. 7518/MTTW-DCT dated February 1, 2024; the opinion of the Standing Board of the VFF Committee of Khanh Hoa province; the opinion of the Khanh Hoa provincial NA Deputies' Delegation; Anh's request to resign from his duties as a NA deputy on January 30, 2024; the proposal of the NA Standing Committee's Board for Deputy Affairs on February 2, 2024; and the voting result of the NA Standing Committee's meeting on February 5, 2024.

Earlier, at its meeting on January 31, the Party Central Committee agreed to allow Anh to cease holding the membership of the Politburo and the Party Central Committee in the 13th tenure based on the Party and State’s existing rules and the officials’ personal wishes.

Anh was a high-ranking official of the Party and State and was entrusted with some important leadership positions by the Party Central Committee and Politburo. As Secretary of the Party Civil Affairs Committee and Minister of Industry and Trade in the 2016 - 2021 tenure, he exerted efforts in leading and directing activities of the industry and trade sector to obtain significant results.

However, he bore the political responsibility of a leader for letting many violations occur at the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and many officials and Party members break the law and thus, be subject to criminal, Party, and administrative punishments. Deeply aware of his responsibility towards the Party and people, he submitted a proposal to cease holding positions, stop working, and retire./.VNA
