Unveiling new horizons

2025 marks the first year that Dak Lak operates under the new provincial model. Despite numerous challenges due to the reorganization of the administrative apparatus and the severe impact of natural disasters, storms, and floods on production and people's lives, the province, with a sense of urgency and determination, has completed a large volume of work, creating an important foundation for the next phase of development.

The organizational restructuring was implemented synchronously and on schedule; the Party congresses at all levels after the merger were directed meticulously and systematically; the First Provincial Party Congress, for the 2025-2030 term, was successfully held, affirming unity in thinking and action and creating a solid political foundation for a new development path.

The socio -economic situation remained stable; 12 out of 16 key indicators met or exceeded the plan, with many indicators showing significant growth. Efforts to improve the investment environment and attract key projects were prioritized, gradually strengthening the confidence of the business community and investors in the province's development prospects.

One of the highlights is the series of large-scale, long-term projects that have been and are being implemented. Projects such as Bai Goc Port, Hoa Tam Industrial Park, and the Eco Palace Buon Ma Thuot complex are gradually forming key infrastructure systems, creating a foundation for medium and long-term growth.

Furthermore, the commencement and inauguration of key projects to celebrate the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam have created a new momentum and opened up a strategic development vision for Dak Lak. Since the beginning of the year, the province has approved investment policies for 45 projects with a total capital of over 35,538 billion VND, and adjusted investment policies for 76 projects, demonstrating the increasingly attractive investment environment in the locality.

Tourism has become a highlight with many vibrant cultural events, festivals, and sporting activities, attracting a large number of visitors. Total tourism revenue for the year is estimated to increase by over 46%, and the number of visitors increased by more than 31%, reflecting the attractiveness of Dak Lak, a region with diverse cultural characteristics and a harmonious blend of forests, seas, and culture.

Alongside economic development, social welfare has been given due attention. The program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated housing has been completed, with 8,915 houses newly built or renovated; policies to support people affected by natural disasters have been implemented promptly, contributing to stabilizing lives and restoring production. National defense and security, and border sovereignty continue to be maintained, creating a stable environment for sustainable development.

"With the guidance and support of the Central Committee, and the unity of the entire Party Committee and the people, Dak Lak will realize its aspiration to rise up and become a dynamic development region, making a worthy contribution to the overall cause of the country in the new era" - Alternate Member of the Central Committee of the Party, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee

The Resolution of the Provincial Party Congress for the 2025-2030 term sets the goal of building Dak Lak into a rapidly developing, sustainable, civilized, and culturally rich province; and identifies four strategic driving forces: developing human resources; promoting science and technology; improving infrastructure; and reforming institutions.

According to the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, Ta Anh Tuan, in the coming period, the province will focus on breakthrough areas with fundamental and widespread impact, with the top priority being the development of transportation infrastructure. Resources will be concentrated on investing in completing key routes, especially the East-West expressway, connecting seaports and airports, and linking with national expressways such as the North-South and Buon Ma Thuot-Van Phong expressways.

Along with infrastructure development, the province is resolutely creating breakthroughs in institutions, significantly improving the investment environment, accelerating administrative procedure reforms, and innovating management thinking towards serving and supporting businesses. The focus is on attracting large-scale, impactful projects in key sectors such as high-tech agriculture, deep processing industries, renewable energy, logistics, and integrated tourism, thereby creating new growth drivers for the economy.

Regarding development potential, the Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, Nguyen Minh Huan, stated that the new resolutions from the Central Government on land and minerals open up important opportunities for Dak Lak to remove bottlenecks, effectively exploit resources, and expand development space.

Alternate Member of the Central Committee of the Party, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Luong Nguyen Minh Triet emphasized that, in the context of the Central Committee's requirement for double-digit growth, the entire political system of the province needs to unite, maximize its potential, take advantage of the attention of the Central Committee and the support of businesses and the people; at the same time, strongly innovate, lead and manage decisively and synchronously, determined to overcome difficulties and successfully achieve the set goals.

Building on a stable foundation and emerging visions, a new Dak Lak – dynamic, connected, rich in identity, and sustainably developed – is gradually taking shape, ready to join the rest of the country in a new phase of development.
