Opening the conference, PM Pham Minh Chinh said that after three years of implementing Resolution No.18-NQ/TW on continuing to innovate and perfect institutions and policies, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of land management and use, and one year of enforcing the 2024 Land Law, the legal policies on land have been carried out synchronously, achieving positive results.
The legal frameworks have become more effective in practice, addressing obstacles, enhancing state management, supporting socio-economic growth, ensuring national defense and security, and building trust among people, businesses, and investors, he noted.

However, the PM acknowledged that shortcomings remain. Certain policies have not kept pace with the restructuring of two-tier local administrations or the country’s development requirements in the new period.
PM Pham Minh Chinh noted that there are still differences in land recovery rules between public and private projects, and delays in procedures for acquisition, compensation, resettlement, and land-use changes. Some financial reforms under Resolution No.18-NQ/TW have yet to be fully institutionalized. The State’s role in land valuation and regulation remains unclear, while speculative land auctions and price manipulation persist in various regions.
He identified causes such as inconsistent awareness of land’s role in the socialist-oriented market economy, fragmented legal provisions, and inadequate attention to land-use planning and resource mobilization in some areas.
Following the Politburo's direction, the Government's Party Committee is conducting a formal review of both Resolution No.18-NQ/TW and the 2024 Land Law. Based on this, the committee will propose adjustments and supplements to the Resolution, laying a foundation to amend and supplement the 2024 Land Law.
The Government leader stressed the need for high-quality results in a short period of time. He asked participants to finalize the report for the Politburo to submit to the Party Central Committee, including updates to policy directions and practical measures supporting the revision of the Land Law.
He requested delegates to frankly assess the situation and results of the implementation of Resolution No.18-NQ/TW and the 2024 Land Law, especially objectively reflecting issues arising from real life, especially issues related to planning, land use plans, land allocation, land lease, land recovery, compensation, resettlement; land recovery for socio-economic development for national and public interests; adjusting and supplementing solutions on land price determination; and land issues involving foreign elements.
