Delegate Do Thi Lan proposed a policy to support agencies in moving their headquarters out of the center of Hanoi, removing bottlenecks to develop the capital.
Commenting on the draft revised Law on the Capital on the morning of November 27, Vice Chairwoman of the Social Committee Do Thi Lan said the Prime Minister has issued a decision on measures and roadmap for relocation and use of land funds after relocating industrial production facilities, hospitals, universities, vocational training facilities and agencies and units out of Hanoi's inner city since 2015. However, for many years, this has not yielded any results.
"If there is no solution, this policy will not be feasible," said Ms. Lan, suggesting that in addition to the State's investment policy, the city needs to study support mechanisms and encourage agencies and units to relocate their headquarters.
Vice Chairman of the Committee for Culture and Education Ta Van Ha said that Hanoi has many headquarters of central agencies and organizations. However, the coordination between the city and these agencies is not good because "a very small task is to move the headquarters out of the city center to reduce traffic congestion, but for many years it has not been done".
"I request that the drafting agency clearly define the responsibilities of central agencies located in the area and clearly state the method of carrying out this work," he said.
Delegate Nguyen Quoc Luan (Deputy Head of Yen Bai Delegation) also said that Hanoi needs to resolutely relocate polluting facilities, hospitals, and schools out of the inner city; strictly handle violations of construction and urban order, and better manage architectural space and urban landscape.

Discussing in a group on October 11, Hanoi Party Secretary Dinh Tien Dung said that relocating hospitals and universities is difficult because most of them follow an autonomous mechanism. Even when given new land, the units do not have enough resources to build. Therefore, he suggested that the draft revised Capital Law be built in the direction of giving stronger authority to the city.
Hanoi needs to have a mechanism to spend budget money to clear land, even build new headquarters for universities and hospitals. The old facilities can be returned to the city or used as postgraduate training facilities, international research cooperation facilities to reduce population.
In May, the Secretariat issued a directive requiring strict implementation of the roadmap for relocating state administrative agencies, academies, and universities outside the city center according to the plan.
In fact, the plan to relocate the headquarters of ministries and branches from the center of the capital has been proposed for many years and some ministries and branches have moved to new headquarters in the West of the capital. However, besides the problem of funding for implementation, one of the problems that has delayed the relocation is that although the land has been granted to build new headquarters, the ministries and branches have not handed over the old facilities located in the central district.
Hanoi's 2016 report shows that nine ministries and agencies moved out of the center, but seven units continued to keep their old headquarters or handed them over to central agencies for management; two agencies were approved to change their purpose to investing in building houses and offices for rent.
At the end of April 2023, the Prime Minister approved the planning project for the headquarters of 36 ministries, government agencies, and central agencies of mass organizations in the West Lake Tay area (Tay Ho and Bac Tu Liem districts) and Me Tri (Nam Tu Liem district). These two areas are both about 10 km from the center of the capital.
