General Secretary shares important orientations when amending the Land Law

(Dan Tri) - Emphasizing the importance of laws on land, planning and investment, the General Secretary requested that law amendments must remove practical obstacles and unleash all resources to create development momentum.

On September 18, General Secretary To Lam chaired a working session with the Government Party Committee Standing Committee on a number of contents of four draft laws: Land Law (amended); Planning Law; Urban and Rural Planning Law; and Investment Law.

According to General Secretary To Lam, draft laws are closely related to many intertwined regulations, so in the context of simultaneous amendments, it is easy for conflicts and overlaps to arise, leading to the need to continue amending in a short period of time.

Therefore, this law amendment must be carefully considered to ensure the consistency and unity of the legal system. At the same time, it is necessary to fundamentally resolve practical difficulties and obstacles, aiming to open the way, unleash all resources, and turn institutions into competitive advantages and strong driving forces for development.
