(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today, with regard to being the deputy speaker. I will be resigning from my position as Deputy Speaker, as I have served my two year term. Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank you and the two other chairpersons. I am sure the Members are aware that there would be a person from amongst the Members to be elected as a Speaker and a deputy speaker. I would like to encourage every one of you to be the Speaker or the deputy speaker. Thank you very much, to all the Members for giving me support when I was chairperson and when I was a deputy speaker. I really appreciate your support. (Translation ends)
My resignation as the deputy speaker will be effective at the end of the Fourth Session of the 12th Assembly. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
