Draft law on special economic zones

The three areas are in Van Don in Quang Ninh Province, Northern Vân Phong in Khánh Hòa Province and Phu Quoc in Kien Giang Province. Representatives commented on nine policy groups of the draft law, ranging from land access, taxes, fees and immigration to setting a 99-year land allocation deadline to attract investors to special zones. Most deputies agreed that the draft law had many good points. However, it should not attract investment at all costs because the special zones were strategically positioned. Some delegates suggested that the special economic zones should be centralised in terms of governance in order to avoid bureaucracy.
