“The adoption of these resolutions is both in accordance with regulations and creates a legal framework as a basis for communes, neighborhoods, and hamlets to implement; for social organizations in neighborhoods and hamlets to maintain activities and build a core force of the grassroots political system in line with the socio-economic development situation and conditions of the City,” Ms. Nguyen Thi Le emphasized.

The City People's Council also passed resolutions that play an important role in the socio-economic development and national defense and security of the City, such as the list of projects to change the land use purpose of rice cultivation for implementation; and the list of projects to reclaim land for socio-economic development for national and public benefit.

“This is an important issue that the public and people of the city are concerned about. The approval of the list aims to ensure compliance with the Land Law and also provides a legal basis for implementing the next steps in land management. From there, we can maximize the economic value of land, ensure the progress of investment and project implementation, and meet the socio-economic development needs of 2024 and beyond,” Ms. Le assessed.
