In a new resolution passed at the closing session of the 5th National Assembly on the afternoon of June 21, the National Assembly decided to allow the extension of the term of agricultural land use.

The reason is that the term of agricultural land use stipulated in the Land Law will expire in October 2013, but the National Assembly has not yet passed the draft Land Law (amended). To ensure stability and continuity in land use, the National Assembly decided to issue a "Resolution on extending the term of land use for annual crops, aquaculture, and salt production of households and individuals".

The Resolution clearly states: When the term of use expires, the State will not adjust the land for annual crops, aquaculture, and salt production that has been allocated under the current Land Law. Households and individuals are allowed to use it until the Land Law (amended) comes into effect. The new term of use will be applied according to the provisions of the Land Law (amended).

It is expected that the Land Law (amended) will be considered for approval after the National Assembly has approved the draft amendment to the 1992 Constitution later this year.
