Vietnam’s lawmaking National Assembly adopted a resolution on Friday to pilot special mechanisms and policies for the development of Ho Chi Minh City next year.

The legislature entered the last working day of its month-long sitting in Hanoi on Friday, with 93.69 percent of lawmakers voting yes to the resolution on piloting the special mechanisms and policies, in terms of land management, investment, and finance - state budget, for the southern metropolis.

The resolution also covers the mechanism on delegating power among administration levels and the income of officials, public employees and civil servants managed by the city’s authorities.

These particular mechanisms and policies are applied to state agencies, political organizations, socio-political organizations, socio-political and professional organizations, social organizations, socio-professional organizations, and other relevant organizations and individuals, according to the Vietnam News Agency.

This resolution will come into effect on January 15, 2018, with the government required to report its implementation at the National Assembly sessions in late 2020 and late 2022.

Once implemented, the special mechanisms mean Ho Chi Minh City authorities can make decisions on issues that are currently within the authority of the prime minister.

The Ho Chi Minh City delegates are seen at the National Assembly session in Hanoi.

On Friday morning, the National Assembly also adopted a resolution on a feasibility study report on land seizure, compensation and relocation projects for the development of the Long Thanh International Airport in Dong Nai Province.

This resolution, receiving 91.45 percent of approving votes from lawmakers, approves some targets set in the feasibility study report, such as a total investment of VND22.938 trillion (more than US$1 billion) and nearly 4,400 hectares of land set for revocation.

The land seizure, compensation, support, and resettlement will be carried out in one time and finish by 2021.
