Can disputed forests be leased?

According to forestry law regulations, is it permissible to lease forests that are currently under dispute? Please provide advice.

Based on Clause 3, Article 14 of the Forestry Law 2017, regulated as follows:

In accordance with the national forestry planning, land use planning; and the current forest area in the locality.
No conversion of the natural forest use purpose to another, except for national important projects; projects serving national defense and security; other urgent projects approved by the Government of Vietnam.
No allocation or leasing of forest areas that are under dispute.

Thus, according to the above regulation, it can be seen that forest areas under dispute shall not be allocated or leased.

Respectfully!
