Speaking at the working session, General Secretary To Lam emphasized that the four draft laws are closely related with many intertwined provisions. When amending the laws at the same time, it is easy for conflicts and overlaps to arise, leading to the need for further amendments in a short period of time. Therefore, the amendments must be carefully considered.

According to the General Secretary, the contents discussed are all big and difficult issues, requiring intellectual concentration and dedication, ensuring fundamental solutions to practical difficulties and problems and the synchronization and unity of the legal system, aiming to open the way, unleash all resources, and turn institutions and laws into competitive advantages and strong driving forces for development.

Regarding the draft Law on Land (amended), the General Secretary suggested that it is necessary to fully identify the current difficulties and obstacles in the land sector; ensuring a comprehensive, fundamental and synchronous solution. The major viewpoints, orientations and important policies of the Law on Amendments and Supplements to a Number of Articles of the Law on Land need to be placed in the context of related laws on taxes, housing, real estate business, planning, geology and minerals, etc.

The General Secretary requested the Government Party Committee to lead and direct relevant agencies to review and propose solutions to remove difficulties caused by legal regulations in the land sector, serving the amendment and supplementation of the Land Law; continue to carefully study options to harmoniously handle and remove obstacles.

The General Secretary stated that the Land Law is an important law, and the amendment must be invested with resources and time to implement.

The General Secretary noted that it is necessary to fully identify bottlenecks, avoid hot spots, disputes and complaints that affect the general political atmosphere; at the same time, not let hostile forces take advantage of distorting policies in amending and supplementing the Land Law.

Radically reduce investment and business conditions

Regarding the draft Investment Law, the General Secretary emphasized the need to thoroughly implement the direction of Resolution No. 68 of the Politburo on private economic development; create a business environment that is open, transparent, stable, safe, easy to implement, low cost, meets international standards, and ensures regional and global competitiveness. At the same time, remove existing "bottlenecks" and create more favorable conditions for business development.

The regulations on investment and business conditions reflect the spirit of "strongly shifting from pre-control to post-control associated with increased inspection and supervision". Ensuring that the conditional investment and business sectors are "for reasons of national defense, security, social order and safety, social ethics, and public health", the rest are thoroughly cut in accordance with the Party and State's policies.

The regulations on investment incentive sectors and occupations need to cover all policies on developing renewable energy, nuclear energy, and new energy mentioned in Resolution No. 70 of the Politburo on ensuring national energy security until 2030, with a vision to 2045.

Regarding the draft Law on Planning, the General Secretary requested an assessment of the abolition and adjustment of a number of national sectoral plans, and attention to handling conflicts between plans to ensure that investment projects do not waste too much time. At the same time, it is possible to continue implementing plans that are operating stably, not affected by the organization of two-level local governments, to avoid waste.

The General Secretary stated that the development of the Planning Law must ensure the country's development vision; build comprehensive, long-term infrastructure and solve infrastructure development tasks to lead overall development.

Continue to decentralize, delegate power, clearly define authority in planning work, associated with simplifying processes and procedures in planning activities, ensuring synchronous decentralization and delegation of power in the spirit of "locality decides, locality acts, locality is responsible".

At the same time, continue to study additional regulations to handle shortcomings in the planning system, the relationship between planning types and assess the project's conformity with planning.

Regarding the draft Law on Urban and Rural Planning, there are many specific contents related to the Land Law (amended) and a number of other related laws, which need to be initially reviewed for amendment and supplementation to ensure the removal of difficulties arising in practice, while ensuring consistency, synchronization and connectivity in the legal system.
