PM Chinh, who is head of the Central Steering Committee for reviewing the implementation of the Resolution, emphasised that land is an issue related to all aspects of economic and social activities and people’s lives.
After ten years of implementation of the Resolution, numerous achievements have been obtained, contributing to promoting effective use of land resources to serve socio-economic development, ensure social equality and stability, national defence and security, and environmental protection, he said.
He asked the participants to focus on evaluating the achieved results, shortcomings, causes, and lessons learned from the implementation realities over the past time as well as setting tasks and solutions for the future which are proposed in the draft report.
Participants at the conference agreed with the contents of the draft report which affirm the people's ownership of land. They also mentioned a number of issues that still have different opinions related to land management and use, the rights and obligations of people and businesses in managing and using land economically, efficiently and sustainably.
