On January 15, 2026, the Department of Land Administration and the Land Consolidation Engineering Bureau, Ministry of the Interior (MOI), received a delegation led by Director-General Kuan Chia-jung of the Kinmen County Land Administration Bureau, together with bureau representatives. The two sides held a warm and productive exchange, sharing views on land administration and land consolidation engineering matters, with fruitful outcomes.
The Land Administration Bureau of the Kinmen County Government has long worked closely with the Department of Land Administration in advancing a wide range of land administration initiatives, delivering solid results in both public services and land development. In particular, the Kinmen County Government received last year’s Outstanding Performance Award in the “land value” category under the land administration performance evaluation for county and city governments. Through face-to-face exchanges, both sides were able to explore a broader range of ideas for further strengthening their work.
In addition, the Land Consolidation Engineering Bureau has long maintained a strong partnership with the Kinmen County Government on zone expropriation and farmland consolidation projects. It has provided support for a number of major developments, including Phase I of the Jincheng Township zone expropriation project, the Shigang Zone Expropriation Project in Jinhu Township, and the Dashanding Farmland Consolidation Project. These efforts have delivered tangible results in improving local public infrastructure, enhancing the agricultural production environment, and promoting the efficient and appropriate use of land.
At present, design work is underway for the Yangcuo Farmland Consolidation Area, while construction is in progress for the Xishan Farmland Consolidation Area. Through coordinated central-local collaboration, integrating professional expertise with administrative resources helps strengthen local agricultural infrastructure and further improve land use efficiency.
During this exchange, the Kinmen County Land Administration Bureau held in-depth discussions with the Department of Land Administration and the Land Consolidation Engineering Bureau on both the regulatory and practical aspects of farmland consolidation, project implementation, and directions for future cooperation. Through experience sharing and professional dialogue, the meeting further strengthened overall service quality and execution effectiveness.
Looking ahead, the Department of Land Administration and the Land Consolidation Engineering Bureau will continue to uphold a spirit of professionalism, pragmatism, and collaboration in supporting local governments in advancing land development initiatives. Building on this strong foundation, they also look forward to further deepening the partnership to promote local development and deliver win-win outcomes for both central and local governments.
