HCMC asks for military land to be reviewedThe Ministry of Defence promised to hand over military-owned land to the south of HCM City’s Tan Son Nhat Airport, if required by the Government. HCM City authorities recently asked for joint-ministerial collaboration to review all military-controlled land currently being used for commercial purposes. This land is primarily used for military purposes – camps and barracks, deployment of defence systems, training grounds and historical landmarks. HCM City authorities have asked the MoNRE and the MoD to direct units and agencies to review the commercialisation of military land within HCM City, and submit their findings to the Government. Any wrongful use of military land, illegal renting of military land, or infringement of military land due to lax oversight would be “strictly dealt with” and the leaders of those areas would be held accountable, he said.
