In 2026, Dong Nai sets 36 targets on socio-economic development and national defense and security, including eight economic targets, 19 cultural and social targets, six environmental targets, and three targets on national defense, security and social order and safety.

The Provincial People’s Committee requests departments, agencies, localities and related units to closely follow the actual situation and coordinate their efforts in implementing socio-economic development solutions of the Government and relevant ministries and sectors to ensure the 2026 plan meets its set objectives. At the same time, they must ensure progress, quality and effectiveness of key tasks and breakthrough missions under the Resolution of the first Provincial Party Congress for the 2025–2030 term, as well as the province’s key projects.

Eight key goals and tasks are identified: prioritizing economic growth; accelerating the construction and development of synchronous and modern infrastructure; continuing economic restructuring linked with digital transformation and green transition; developing culture, ensuring social security, and improving people’s material and spiritual life and health.

Other tasks include improving human resource quality; developing science and technology, innovation and digital transformation; strengthening land and resource management and environmental protection; improving the organization of the state administrative apparatus and the effectiveness of the two-tier local government model; and ensuring national defense, security and international integration.

A key focus for public investment capital disbursement in 2026 is to reach at least 95 percent of the plan. The province also emphasizes strengthening discipline and order, enhancing the responsibility of heads of agencies and public service ethics, and stepping up coordination, monitoring, inspection and supervision in implementing the 2026 public investment plan.

“The tasks for 2026 are very heavy. Therefore, there must be synchronous participation and strong determination from the entire political system and the people of the province,” Nguyen Van Ut stressed, adding that the Provincial People’s Committee will make the highest efforts to fulfill its assigned responsibilities and calls on Party committees, the Provincial People’s Council, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, mass organizations and the people to strengthen coordination and create strong changes across sectors.

He requested that immediately after the conference, heads of departments, sectors, localities and state-owned enterprises under the province promptly translate assigned targets and tasks into specific programs and plans with concrete measures to effectively implement the approved plan.
