Meanwhile, Deputy Nguyen Tao from Lam Dong Province stressed the significance of the Government addressing in timely manner difficulties during the implementation process of the Law on Planning.
“One of the priorities for the Government is to soon ratify the national and regional plannings so that based on which provinces and cities would start their planning,” Tao said.
Tao expected the Government to consider giving some cities/provinces some authority to adjust the provincial planning to ensure feasibility and effectiveness during the implementation process.
“A clear timeline and responsibilities are required to ensure the completion of planning as scheduled, which remain essential to meet the growing demand for socio-economic development of each city/province and the country as a whole,” Tao said.
