As a young official given the opportunity to contribute, I feel a deep sense of pride, not only in the changes in the urban landscape and socio-economic development, but also in the spirit of the new Dong Nai’s residents: dynamic, resilient, creative, and full of aspiration. Our generation of young officials is living in a period of profound transformation, where major goals have been translated into concrete actions that are permeating everyday life.

Delegate VO VAN TRUNG, Deputy Secretary of the Thanh Son commune Party Committee and Chairman of the commune People’s Committee: Greater attention is hoped for remote and disadvantaged areas

Thanh Son is one of the province’s remote communes, where residents still face many difficulties and a large number of ethnic minority communities reside. From this reality, I hope that during the 2025–2030 term, Dong Nai province will introduce more practical policies that closely address people’s daily lives, with special attention given to disadvantaged areas and regions with ethnic minority populations.

As a delegate attending the congress, I wish to access more information and specific solutions related to mass mobilization, particularly in remote areas with high concentrations of ethnic and religious communities. At the same time, I hope to contribute insights drawn from real-life experience so that the congress will have additional solid grounds to develop and issue policies that truly meet the needs and aspirations of the people, contributing to promoting a balanced and sustainable development across all localities in the province.

Delegate TRAN DUC HOA, Deputy Secretary of the Binh Minh commune Party Committee and Chairman of the commune People’s Committee: The congress is anticipated to set policies for sustainable development in Dong Nai

I am deeply honored and proud to attend the 1st Congress of the Dong Nai Provincial Party Committee for the 2025–2030 term, a historic milestone following the province’s merger.

My greatest expectation is that the congress will adopt strong and feasible policies to develop diverse, synchronized, and modern transportation infrastructure; invest in cultural and sports facilities; and implement provincial incentives to attract investment for building housing for workers and low-income residents, thereby addressing practical issues that affect people’s daily lives.

I also hope that the province will pay attention to ensuring that economic development goes hand in hand with preserving and promoting the unique cultural values of the Bien Hoa–Dong Nai region to guarantee sustainable growth. I firmly believe that, with the unity and shared determination of the Party Committee, the authorities, and the people, Dong Nai will successfully implement the resolutions of the 1st Provincial Party Congress for the 2025–2030 term and soon become a dynamic, civilized, and modern development hub.

Delegate LAM VAN LONG, Deputy Director of Dong Nai Provincial Public Security: Multiple measures should be emphasized to ensure security, especially in border areas

I am proud and honored to attend the 1st Congress of the newly merged Dong Nai province. Like many other delegates, I firmly believe that the congress will be a success, setting out practical solutions to build a prosperous, civilized, green, and modern Dong Nai.

In our specialized field, we held discussions in our group and contributed numerous suggestions on national defense, security, and foreign affairs.

Delegate HOANG MANH THUONG, Secretary of the Loc Tan commune Party Committee and Chairman of the commune People’s Council: Solutions need to be identified to fully harness local development potential

Loc Tan commune was formed through the merger of the former Loc Thien and old Loc Tan communes. Before the merger, both communes had been well known for their agricultural traditions and the diverse cultures of ethnic groups such as Kinh, Tay, and S’tieng. Following the merger, the new Loc Tan commune has continued to preserve traditional festivals, craft villages producing brocade textiles, and local specialty dishes, contributing to the richness of community cultural life.

With these potentials and strengths, Loc Tan has can develop high-tech agriculture in the future, attract investment from businesses in agricultural processing and light industry, and promote eco-tourism and experiential tourism.

Attending the congress, like many other delegates, I hope the event will be a great success and propose numerous solutions to build and develop a green, prosperous, civilized, and modern Dong Nai. Given that the commune is a unique border area with a rich historical and cultural heritage of diverse ethnic groups, I especially hope that the congress will discuss and identify solutions to fully leverage the commune’s strengths and potential in the new context, contributing to the province’s overall development.

I am deeply honored to be the youngest delegate attending the 1st Congress of the Dong Nai Provincial Party Committee for the 2025–2030 term. This is a significant political event, marking a turning point after the merger of the former Binh Phuoc and Dong Nai provinces and the implementation of the two-tier local government model.

I hope the congress will promote democracy, and harness collective wisdom to set directions for building up the clean, strong Party and the political system, contributing to consolidating the people’s trust in the Party and the State, enhancing the power of national unity, and firmly protecting the Fatherland. At the same time, I hope it will focus on developing young human resources, nurturing successor cadres, implementing talent-attracting policies, and accelerating digital transformation, creating a favorable environment to improve people’s living standards.

In my role as Chairperson of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of An Phuoc commune, leading the Front and the commune’s political and social organizations, even before the congress took place, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of An Phuoc commune had directed the Front and all political and social organizations in the commune to actively raise public awareness of the Dong Nai Provincial Party Congress.

In addition, the Committee organized the collection of public feedback on draft documents of Party congresses at all levels; launched emulation movements to celebrate Party congresses; and shared information and images during the congress. Moving forward, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of An Phuoc commune will continue to lead and direct the Front and political and social organizations to thoroughly implement the resolutions, aiming to build broad consensus among the people.

What I particularly expect is for the local authorities to pay greater attention to the cultural and spiritual life of the people, creating conditions for culture, arts, and humanistic values to flourish, thereby enhancing the quality of spiritual life in modern society. At the same time, it is essential to maintain the “ideological stronghold” and build a solid cultural foundation, so that every citizen of Dong Nai can not only prosper economically but also remain steadfast in their beliefs and ideals.

NGUYEN HUU QUYEN, Member of the Bien Hoa ward Party Committee: Expectations are placed on a responsible and people-centered contingent of officials in the new term

As a Party member, I hope that in the new term, the province’s officials will continue to uphold the tradition of unity, demonstrate a strong sense of responsibility, and truly lead by example in all areas of their work. Officials must possess steadfast political integrity, exemplary ethical standards, and a simple, approachable lifestyle close to the people. At the same time, they should continuously study and train to improve their skills, managerial capacity, and innovative thinking. I expect officials to dare to think, act, and take responsibility for the common good, while firmly combating all forms of misconduct. On this basis, officials at all levels will serve as the core of unity, acting as a bridge between the Party and the people, contributing to Dong Nai’s rapid and sustainable development, improving citizens’ quality of life, and living up to the trust and expectations of the Party and the people of the province.

DO THI HA, Head of Human Resources at Vietnam Fortune Technology International Co., Ltd. (Binh Phuoc ward): The province is expected to implement social welfare programs to meet workers’ needs

Dong Nai is an industrial province with a large workforce employed in industrial zones. In recent years, thanks to the province’s attention, the support of trade unions at all levels, and the efforts of enterprises, many innovative initiatives, meaningful models, and welfare programs have been effectively implemented, significantly improving workers’ livelihoods, employment, and income. However, a portion of the workforce still faces difficulties, and cultural and housing facilities for workers remain limited. The Dong Nai Provincial Party Congress for the 2025-2030 term has attracted wide attention from people of all social strata and from the workforce in the province. I hope the province will continue to introduce social welfare programs that enhance both material and spiritual well-being, meeting the needs and aspirations of workers.

As an officer in charge of ecotourism at Bu Gia Map National Park, I pay close attention to the orientation of the Provincial Party Congress for the 2025-2030 term. I hope the congress will affirm the key role of forest and biodiversity conservation linked with sustainable tourism development, and introduce mechanisms and policies that encourage community participation, especially among the S’tieng and M’nong ethnic groups so that they benefit, improve their livelihoods, and preserve their culture. I also expect the province to accelerate digital transformation to promote green, safe, and friendly tourism, integrating environmental education; at the same time, it should adopt measures to attract and facilitate international visitors. This will lay the foundation for harmonious development between conservation and sustainable livelihoods.
