The top legislator was reported on the national land use planning scheme for 2021-2030 with a vision towards 2050, and the 2021-2025 land use plan.

Hue emphasised the significance of land resources which are associated with urban development, infrastructure, environment, and national defence and security.

The national land use planning scheme, therefore, must serve as a ground for planning schemes of sectors, regions and localities, and create regional connectivity, the NA leader said.

The scheme and the land use plan are scheduled to be submitted to the second meeting of the 15th legislature.

Deputies looked into objectives set in the documents, and exchanged their views in this regard, saying it is a must to ensure publicity and transparency in land management and use, and fix shortcomings over the past time.

Hue expressed his support for the Government’s views on the scheme and the plan, and suggested supplementing land resources’ role to the country’s sustainable development, in accordance with socio-economic development strategies of the country and localities.
