On that basis, the province needs to reorganize the development space according to the "Plateau - coast - border" axis, taking strategic infrastructure as the pillar.

In addition, Dak Lak must focus on developing human resources, improving human quality, considering this as the foundation and decisive driving force of development.
Economic development must go hand in hand with investment in education, vocational training, and improving labor skills, especially for young people, ethnic minorities and rural areas; and at the same time bring science - technology, digital transformation and innovation into the strategic development center.
The General Secretary requested to build a government apparatus that acts, is disciplined, honest and responsible to the end; streamlining the apparatus is not only to reduce focal points but also to improve the quality of implementation and the efficiency of serving the People.
Local authorities at two levels must operate smoothly and effectively with clear assignment of people, clear tasks, clear authority, clear deadlines and clear responsibilities.
