Firstly, the Law amends and supplements 15 laws in the fields of agriculture and environment, focusing on three groups of issues: building policies suitable for the two-level local government model; Continuing to reform and reduce administrative procedures and business investment conditions; Removing bottlenecks to create momentum for strong development from 2026.
Second, amend and supplement the Law on Geology and Minerals to exploit and use resources effectively, contributing to the country's economic development.
