Hanoi and Phú Thọ Propose Boundary Adjustment; Existing Lawfully Approved Projects to Be Carried Over
Vietnam’s government has proposed transferring 40.06 square kilometers and 1,057 residents from Phú Thọ Province to Hanoi, with the resolution set to take effect on January 1, 2027. The interior minister said the boundary adjustment would not change the management regime for special-use forests or constitute a change in land use. Projects with lawful approval would retain their legal status.
