Hanoi (VNA) – Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung cleared up deputies’ concern regarding land management at a Q&A session on November 11, as part of the ongoing second sitting of the 15th National Assembly.

Minister Dung said the Ministry of Planning and Investment will research and advise the Government in the promulgation of policies in response to the situation when a number of foreign investors use names of Vietnamese businesses and individuals to accumulate land in the country, especially land in coastal and border areas.

This is a big issue, the minister said, pledging that the ministry will inquire into the situation and report results to the Government and the legislature.

The legislator also asked the ministry to clarify the land use plan for the 10 years./.
