At a press conference on the afternoon of October 17, reporters asked why the National Assembly had not yet amended the Land Law as planned at the upcoming 10th session.

Previously, the Land Law 2024 was promulgated and came into effect on August 1, 2024.

Issue a resolution to immediately resolve the obstacles.

Responding to this issue, Ms. Pham Thi Hong Yen, a full-time National Assembly representative on the Economic and Financial Committee, stated that the Land Law is a major and extremely important law, directly and profoundly impacting all socio-economic activities, affecting businesses and citizens.

According to Ms. Hong Yen's assessment, many of the new provisions of the Land Law and the system of detailed guiding documents are groundbreaking.

However, she clarified that from 2024 onwards, the global economic landscape has been highly unpredictable. Vietnam is prioritizing growth, macroeconomic stability, and implementing a revolution in streamlining the administrative apparatus and building a two-tiered local government model.

"These are new contexts, requiring immediate solutions to address shortcomings and adapt," Ms. Yen pointed out.

Regarding the reason for not amending the Land Law immediately, Ms. Hong Yen clarified that a comprehensive revision of the law at this time requires more time to fully and comprehensively assess the difficulties and obstacles.

At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the proposed amendments are comprehensive, fundamental, synchronized, and interconnected; and adhere to the principle of harmonizing the interests of the State, the people, and businesses.

Therefore, a comprehensive revision of the Land Law will continue to be studied in the coming period.

Instead, the immediate solution is to issue a resolution to address the current obstacles.

This matter is currently being studied by the Government and relevant agencies of the National Assembly in preparation for reporting to the Standing Committee of the National Assembly and the National Assembly itself.

"This solution is expected to contribute to achieving socio-economic development goals, improving land management efficiency, and creating momentum for Vietnam to become a high-income developed country," Ms. Yen added.

Innovate the way we discuss.

Regarding the change in the discussion format at the 10th session by combining related topics, Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Law and Justice Nguyen Manh Cuong stated that combining laws and reports with related content into a single discussion session does have limitations. However, this is the optimal and most feasible solution to complete the unprecedentedly massive workload at the 10th session.

He stated that at this session, the National Assembly will consider and pass 53 bills and resolutions.

With many urgent issues raised, but by combining various discussion topics, Mr. Cuong believes that the focus should not be on quantity but on ensuring the quality of draft laws.

Mr. Cuong emphasized several solutions, including reforming legislative thinking, where the National Assembly only sets out the framework and principles within its authority, while leaving it to the Government to regulate matters that are subject to change.

The National Assembly Party Committee also regularly coordinates with the Government Party Committee and relevant agencies to improve the process of submitting, reviewing, and incorporating revisions to draft laws; and to resolve difficulties and obstacles in the laws.

In addition, according to Mr. Cuong, the management of group and plenary discussions must ensure flexibility, focus on major and important issues, and avoid duplication.
