Specifically, Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW has set forth many viewpoints, objectives, and specific solutions for the coming period, while the Land Law is directly related to the economy, sovereignty, national security, and social order and safety, impacting all segments of society and being a particularly important resource for national development.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the review of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW and the amendment of the Land Law this time must aim at sustainable development, environmental protection, and effectively resolving obstacles and shortcomings in practice.

Regarding the preliminary review of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW, the Deputy Prime Minister requested a comprehensive assessment of the achievements, shortcomings, and limitations; clearly identifying the contents that need to be inherited, amended, or supplemented to perfect the system of land policies and laws until 2030 and subsequent periods, while ensuring consistency with strategic resolutions issued by the Politburo on economic development.

Regarding the amendment of the Land Law, it is essential to simplify administrative procedures, avoiding further difficulties for citizens and businesses; the processing time for procedures must be shortened, becoming faster, more concise, and more efficient. Simultaneously, it is necessary to optimize land finance policies, land planning, and land use to serve development and maximize the effective use of land resources – assets owned by the entire population and managed uniformly by the State.

Regarding the process of amending the Land Law, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment needs to finalize the draft soon and prepare the relevant decrees and guiding circulars so that implementation can begin immediately upon the law's enactment.
