The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Environment has issued Official Dispatch 3669/BNNMT-QLĐĐ, requesting ministries, equivalent agencies, and People’s Committees of provinces and centrally administered cities to assess the implementation of the Land Law and propose amendments. The evaluation report, including the assessment of implementation and detailed proposed amendment contents, is to be submitted to the ministry by April 30, 2026 for consolidation, followed by reporting to the Government and the Prime Minister. The consolidated results will serve as a basis for drafting amendments to certain provisions of the Land Law.
The assessment is intended to support the review and revision of the Land Law under the National Assembly’s XVI legislative program in 2026, while also institutionalizing new Party guidelines to improve the legal system and meet the country’s development requirements in the new phase.

The outline calls for in-depth analysis of achievements, difficulties, obstacles, and their causes. It also requires proposals for amendments and an evaluation of their impacts across the economy, society, environment, and administrative procedures.
The Ministry’s outline focuses on five major issue groups, with the assessment concentrating on the following content areas:
The dispatch also notes that proposals to revise multiple regulations are intended to remove obstacles in enforcing the Land Law. The outline emphasizes that amendments should aim for holistic, fundamental solutions rather than piecemeal fixes, while recognizing and addressing existing obstacles.
