The General Secretary and President requested to create a new growth model, bringing Dong Nai beyond the limits of a traditional industrial center. Dong Nai must develop by productivity, technology, knowledge content, innovation capacity and spillover to domestic enterprises, instead of relying heavily on industrial land, the number of projects and cheap labor.

Dong Nai must aim for a modern, civilized, meaningful, and livable city

The General Secretary and President clearly stated to take Long Thanh International Airport as the nucleus of restructuring the development space. The city needs to soon develop a master plan for urban development of Long Thanh airport, Nhon Trach and surrounding areas; coordinate with ministries and sectors to ensure the progress of Long Thanh airport phase 2, Bien Hoa - Vung Tau railway, airport connection routes and inter-regional infrastructure...

General Secretary and President emphasized the development of culture and society, improving the quality of life of the people, putting people at the center of all development policies. Dong Nai must aim for a modern, civilized, meaningful, and livable city; economic growth must be linked to social progress, social security, environment and cultural identity.

With the characteristics of a large industrial center, with a large number of workers and migrant workers, the city needs to consider social housing, worker housing, schools, hospitals, cultural institutions, public spaces and workers' lives as an essential foundation for sustainable development; must better care for remote areas, ethnic minority areas and border areas; build Dong Nai people in the new era with a spirit of discipline, creativity, affection, integration and aspiration to rise up.

Historical, cultural, and revolutionary values need to be preserved and promoted in traditional education, tourism development, urban identity building, and fostering pride for the younger generation.
