In the first nine months of 2025, Steering Committee 35 of Dong Nai Provincial Party Committee closely followed the guidance of the Central Steering Committee 35 to effectively carry out work in safeguarding the Party’s ideological foundation and countering incorrect and hostile viewpoints. The committee also established and consolidated provincial, communal and equivalent-level subcommittees tasked with protecting the Party’s ideological platform and refuting erroneous and hostile opinions.

The political and ideological climate, social order, public safety, and information security across the province have remained fundamentally stable. Member agencies of Steering Committee 35 under the Provincial Party Committee have maintained close coordination with relevant departments, sectors, mass organizations, and local authorities in carrying out measures to counteract harmful and distorted content on social media. They have kept up active coordination with relevant agencies to share and disseminate positive information online, while competent authorities have promptly handled cases of social media violations, helping to stabilize the province’s social and information environment.

At the conference, the Steering Committee 35 of the Provincial Party Committee agreed that during the final three months of the year, they will intensify efforts to promote political theory education and strengthen the protection of the Party’s ideological foundation. A coordinated approach of “constructive” and “defensive” measures will be applied, with primary focus on the “constructive” aspect as the fundamental and long-term strategy.

There should be broad dissemination and awareness among officials, Party members, and the people, particularly the younger generation about the cultural tradition and revolutionary achievements of the Party and the nation, exemplary figures and outstanding deeds, key political events at the national and provincial levels, major holidays, and local cultural assets. The goal is to leverage Dong Nai’s cultural values and human capital as a fundamental resource and driving force to promote sustainable socio-economic development across the province.

Official information must be promptly provided to accurately shape public understanding, enabling citizens to grasp issues correctly while remaining vigilant against hostile forces and deceptive schemes.

The Vietnam Fatherland Front, along with other socio-political organizations, remains committed to performing its role in representing and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the people. These organizations consistently monitor and understand the concerns, aspirations, and sentiments of citizens, enabling them to report and recommend timely responses to relevant authorities for pressing social issues and to guide public opinion effectively. At the same time, priority will be given to raising awareness and fostering vigilance among members, affiliates, and the general public regarding harmful, malicious, or misleading information spread by hostile forces, ensuring the community remains well-informed, cautious, and resilient in addressing such threats.
