Presenting the review of the above content, Chairman of the Economic and Financial Committee Phan Van Mai said that the Committee basically agreed to supplement and adjust the contents of the national master plan to suit the new context after the administrative unit arrangement.
However, for regions and localities with adjustments to administrative boundaries and new names, the review agency recommends carefully reviewing the planning content and names of regions and provinces to edit them consistently, avoiding different interpretations, causing difficulties in concretizing when implementing the resolution.

The Economic and Financial Committee found that the basic socio-economic zoning remains the same with 6 regions. However, the structure and scope of each region have changed significantly in terms of the number of provincial administrative units, the size of the area and population due to the impact of the arrangement and merger of provincial administrative units. The North Central region, the South Central Coast and the Central Highlands are the two regions with the most significant changes compared to before.
Therefore, the Committee proposed to clarify how the new zoning plan will impact and influence the development orientation of each region, and assess the internal connectivity of each region.
Prime Minister approved national land use and marine spatial planning
Regarding the Law on Planning (amended) , Minister Nguyen Van Thang said that the draft law supplements and adjusts general principles for detailed sectoral planning. Specialized laws will provide detailed and specific regulations on the establishment, appraisal, approval, publication, adjustment and content of detailed sectoral planning, urban and rural planning.
The planning system includes: National-level planning (national master planning, national marine spatial planning, national land use planning, sectoral planning); regional planning; provincial planning; detailed sectoral planning; urban and rural planning; planning of special administrative-economic units as prescribed by the National Assembly.
The Minister of Finance said that the drafting agency has reviewed and reduced the number of plans in the list of sectoral plans and detailed sectoral plans, the number of plans has been reduced from 78 to 49 plans (a decrease of 37%).
Notably, the draft regulations strengthen decentralization and delegation of authority in planning activities.
The Prime Minister is authorized to approve national maritime spatial planning and national land use planning. The Government details the authority to approve sectoral planning to ensure flexibility in direction and administration. Ministers are authorized to approve detailed sectoral planning. Provincial Chairmen are authorized to approve provincial planning.
To ensure post-inspection work and limit arbitrary planning adjustments, the Minister of Finance stated that the draft law supplements regulations on monitoring, inspecting, and reviewing planning.
