The government will propose to the National
Assembly several adjustments to the current land laws, Prime Minister Nguyen
Tan Dung said at a meeting with lawmakers in the northern city of Hai Phong
Wednesday.
Dung
said the government is still discussing the minimum number of years for which
land should be leased to farmers. Generally, they will continue “assigning and
leasing lands for limited time periods, but the period will be extended,” he
said.
“Land
laws need to clarify the rights of the government, the rights of people and the
matter of ownership,” he said.
Vietnam’s
current Land Law stipulates that agricultural land should be leased for a
minimum of 20 years.
Since
the beginning of this year several land eviction attempts have grabbed
headlines, including one in Hai Phong’s Tien Lang District where farmers and
local authorities were engaged in a violent encounter that injured six police
officers and soldiers.
After
that local experts have called for the government to adjust land laws, leasing
land to farmers indefinitely or for longer periods.
