(DN) – At the third session of the 10th provincial People’s Council held on July 24, Chairman Vo Tan Duc of Dong Nai provincial People’s Committee delivered a report on the province’s socio-economic and national defense–security situation in the first half of the year, as well as outlined major objectives and tasks for the remaining six months of 2025.

Chairman Vo Tan Duc speaks at the meeting.

He noted that 2025 is a critical year, marking the final stage of implementing the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, the resolutions of the National Assembly and the Government, as well as the Resolution of the 11th provincial Party Congress for the 2020–2025 term and the People’s Council’s five-year plan for 2021–2026. It also represents a year of administrative streamlining, conduct Party congresses at all levels toward the 14th National Party Congress, prepare and strengthen foundational elements to lay a solid groundwork for entering a new era of national growth, as directed by General Secretary To Lam

In accordance with Resolution No. 202/2025/QH15 dated June 12, 2025, issued by the National Assembly on the reorganization of provincial-level administrative units, Dong Nai province, after restructuring, now comprises 95 administrative units, including 23 wards and 72 communes, with a total area of approximately 12,737 km², accounting for 3.84% of the national territory, ranking 9th nationwide. The province has a population of over 4.49 million, ranking 5th in the country. It is home to a diverse mix of ethnic groups and religions. Dong Nai's economic scale reaches VND609.176 trillion, making it the 4th largest economy in the nation.

Notable achievements in first half

Chairman Vo Tan Duc stated that under the leadership and direction of the Party and the State, along with the strong commitment and concerted efforts of the entire political system, Dong Nai has basically achieved notable results in socio-economic development and national defense and security in the first half of 2025, while also making significant progress toward its double-digit growth target and an institutional reform “revolution” in organizational restructuring.

Accordingly, GRDP reached VND160,286 billion, up 8.2% year‑on‑year, ranking 13th of 34 provinces; State budget revenue reached VND 44,553.2 billion, fulfilling 63% of the Prime Minister’s plan and 61% of the provincial council’s estimate; export turnover was approximately USD16 billion, while imports reached USD11.5 billion, up 18.4% and 19.8%, respectively.

Cultural, sports, and tourism activities held in the early months of the year have generally met the public’s demand. In Jan-June, Dong Nai welcomed approximately 2.89 million tourist arrivals, reaching 55.8% of the annual target.

Employment support, social welfare assurance, and care for policy beneficiary families, disadvantaged individuals, and low-income households have been given due attention and promptly implemented. The province also recorded outstanding results in eliminating makeshift and dilapidated houses. In the first six months of 2025, Dong Nai completed the removal of 1,344 such houses out of the 1,230 assigned, achieving 109.3% of the target and surpassing the Prime Minister’s six-month deadline.

Efforts to streamline the state apparatus; reform administrative procedures; improve the business and investment environment; conduct inspections and address complaints and denunciations; and prevent corruption, negativity, and waste; digital transformation have all been actively promoted across all sectors, fields, and localities.

Chairman Vo Tan Duc stated that the province has achieved remarkable results, notably its double-digit economic growth target and a transformative overhaul of the local administrative apparatus.

Focus on achieving 30 key targets

Chairman Vo Tan Duc of the Dong Nai provincial People’s Committee stated that despite the achievements, the province’s socio-economic situation still faces several difficulties and limitations in the first half. Production and business activities in certain sectors, especially real estate, continue to struggle. Although authorities at all levels have paid attention to addressing obstacles for enterprises and key national and provincial projects, progress has yet to meet expectations. Public investment disbursement has improved compared to the same period last year, but the overall rate remains low, mainly due to issues related to investment preparation and site clearance.

The Chairman emphasized that in the second half, Dong Nai will focus on fulfilling 30 key targets, including 9 economic indicators, 4 environmental indicators, 10 indicators related to social welfare, 3 indicators on culture, education and training, and 4 indicators concerning national defense, security, and social order.

To achieve and surpass the 30 above targets, Mr. Vo Tan Duc emphasized that the province will focus on implementing key tasks and solutions in the remaining months. In particular, priority will be given to promoting economic growth. Dong Nai will accelerate the development of modern and synchronized infrastructure, with a focus on key national transportation projects and inter-regional initiatives. The province will also continue to restructure sectors in alignment with digital transformation and green transition.

At the same time, the province will also focus on cultural and social sectors; improving the quality of human resources; promoting science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation. Efforts will be stepped up in land and natural resource management, environmental protection, green development, and proactive climate change response.

The province will also actively and urgently mobilize resources to improve institutions and legal frameworks in tandem with restructuring administrative apparatus and local government at two levels. Efforts will be made to enhance administrative reform, remove bottlenecks for production and business, and unlock all potential development resources. Additionally, national defense and security will be strengthened, international integration promoted, and information and communication efforts intensified.
