To effectively implement the planning and achieve sustainable development goals, the Deputy Prime Minister requested ministries, sectors, and localities to: urgently organize the announcement and public disclosure of approved plans and adjustments to existing plans in accordance with the Planning Law; and urgently complete the preparation and adjustment of regional and provincial plans for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050, to ensure consistency and synchronization with the recently adjusted national master plan.
Ministries and sectors should urgently complete the review and adjustment of national sectoral plans to ensure they are consistent with the revised National Master Plan and higher-level plans.
