Vietnam National Assembly debates Land Law amendments

National Assembly of Vietnam Land Law amendment land compensation resettlement policy land recovery

The Vietnam National Assembly is conducting discussions on the draft Land Law (amended) during its second session. Key debates focus on land recovery for socio-economic development, compensation mechanisms, and resettlement policies.

Lawmakers have raised concerns regarding the criteria for land recovery to prevent abuse for private interests. There are calls to ensure compensation rates closely approach actual market values and to establish clear standards for resettlement areas to ensure they are ‘equal to or better than’ previous residences.

Additional discussions involve the management of land use delays, the handling of assets on land for slow-moving projects, and the implementation of unique identification codes for land parcels. Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Trinh Viet Hung addressed queries regarding land pricing, noting a shift toward using land price tables and adjustment coefficients rather than specific land prices, with a projected application date of January 1, 2028.
