From May 21st to June 15th, 2018, the XIV National Assembly met and discussed the Law on Special Administrative Units in Van Don, Northern Van Phong and Phu Quoc.


In this measure, in addition to tax incentives and policies for foreign investors, specialists and public opinion are particularly interested in the policy by which the Prime Minister of Vietnam Leasing land for investment up to 99 years.

This caused mixed opinions, especially the taxation of land nearly a century.

Journalist Vo Van Tao is knowledgeable about Van Phong Bay, a special economic zone in Central Vietnam about this location.

Meanwhile, the National Assembly of Vietnam will vote through the draft law on cybersecurity, if promulgated, the law is expected to tighten control over disagreements with the government and the Communist Party of Vietnam.

It has been argued that some of the contents of the draft do not clearly distinguish between cyber security and cybersecurity and some of the issues related to the limitation of human rights and citizenship.

Tran Quoc Thuan, former deputy director of the National Assembly's Office, said the bill was beneficial to the government sooner or later to be adopted.
