Upholding tradition, enhancing quality and effectiveness

Speaking on behalf of the Standing members of the Provincial Party Committee, Comrade Ton Ngoc Hanh emphasized that the results achieved by the Dong Nai NA delegation in the past term have made an important contribution to creating favorable conditions for the province’s strong development in the coming period. These results are made possible thanks to the direct and comprehensive leadership of the NA and the Provincial Party Committee, effective coordination with the People’s Council, People’s Committee, Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, departments and sectors, and especially the dedication, intellect, and mettle of each NA deputy.

Hanh noted that Dong Nai province is standing at a historic opportunity, as it is identified as the country’s key growth drivers and a major industrial and logistics hub centered on the internationally scaled Long Thanh Airport urban area. Accordingly, the province hopes the NA, Government, and ministries will continue to provide mechanisms and prioritize resources for strategic infrastructure development, growth model innovation, and a highly competitive investment environment.
