Background
As an institutional modernization initiative, the National Assembly Secretariat has initiated a strategy process to develop an integrated “E-Parliament” system that moves legislative information management and daily parliamentary workflows onto modern digital platforms. The National Assembly Secretariat has launched a strategy process to develop an integrated ‘E-Parliament’ system for legislative information management and digital workflows.
The E-Parliament program explicitly targets three linked system elements: information technology infrastructure, administrative and financial process reform, and human-resources capacity building for parliamentary staff. The E-Parliament initiative encompasses information technology infrastructure, digital work processes, and human-resources capacity building within the National Assembly Secretariat.
Key Developments
On 22 May 2026 the National Assembly Secretariat held a strategic technical meeting to review workplans and next steps for E-Parliament development. Secretary-General Leng Penglong chaired the session and attendees included the Deputy Secretary-General and members of the working group, technical specialists, and other relevant parties who contributed to drafting an operational action plan. The meeting text emphasizes quality, sustainability, and faster responsiveness as guiding objectives for the IT system design and rollout.
Institutional Role
The Secretariat is leading coordination, planning and technical preparation for E-Parliament implementation, including drafting activity plans and convening cross-functional working groups. The National Assembly President has identified digital modernization of parliamentary systems as a priority and directed alignment between technological upgrades, administrative/financial reform, and staff capacity development.
Operational Implications
Operational steps highlighted by the Secretariat include building modern information systems, defining digital work processes, and strengthening staff skills to support continuous digital operations. Implementing these steps requires coordinated IT procurement, technical standards for legislative data, and ongoing training programs for parliamentary officials and staff.
