Speaking at the event, General Secretary Lam stressed that the draft laws are deeply interconnected, with overlapping regulations that could lead to contradictions and repeated amendments if revised simultaneously. He described the bills as major, complex issues demanding brainpower to address real-world obstacles and ensure legal consistency, with the goal of unlocking resources and turning institutions and laws into a competitive edge for economic growth.

Party General Secretary To Lam speaks at the working session. |
Regarding the revised Land Law, he demanded a deep dive into the mess of land management and pushed for rock-solid solutions that actually work. Major policy directions and key provisions must sync with the laws on taxation, housing, real estate, planning, geology, and minerals to build a system that doesn’t trip over itself.
For the draft Investment Law, he advocated for a transparent, stable, safe, low-cost and globally competitive business environment without bottlenecks. Incentive policies should cover renewable energy, nuclear power and new energy, in line with the Politburo’s Resolution No. 70-NQ/TW on national energy security through 2030 with a vision to 2045.
Regarding the draft Planning Law, the Party chief ordered a review of national sector planning, including the cancellation or adjustment of certain plans to prevent delays in investment projects. Stable plans should proceed without disruption from changes to the two-tier local administration model to avoid wastefulness, he said.
