The PM also ordered decentralization of power in this regard, saying the tasks of approving, assessing and planning should be assigned to specific agencies and organizations.
He suggested that major planning schemes like those at the national and regional levels and in important sectors should be prioritized, with their progress, quality and feasibility ensured.
During the meeting, Cabinet members looked into the possibility of fulfilling tasks set for this year, the national master plan, relations between planning schemes, and administrative reform in the planning work, among others.
The 14th National Assembly adopted the Planning Law in 2017, stipulating the building, approval, announcement and adjustment of planning schemes.
