The Ministry of Land and Resources has established a new department to take charge of real estate registration, a week after a draft regulation on property registration was issued.

The new Bureau of Real Estate Registration is in charge of making and supervising regulations on land management and property registration, coordinating dispute resolution with relevant departments and issuing certificates for the use of forests, islands and grassland.

According to the ministry's website, the bureau has 24 members, including 13 officials of and above section levels.
