Mr. PHAM THANH VINH, Deputy Head of the Social Work Department of the Mass Organizations, Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the city:
Promoting the role of gathering and consolidating the great national unity.

The elevation of Dong Nai to city status is a particularly significant milestone, not only in terms of administration but also in terms of the province's development, political , economic, and social standing within the country.

Dong Nai, once a dynamically developing industrial province, has now been upgraded to a Class I urban area, reflecting the persistent efforts of the Party Committee, government, and people over many years.

Alongside pride comes a profound sense of responsibility. As a city, the demands on state management, quality of life for its people, social welfare, and urban civilization will be much higher. For Front cadres, the role of gathering and consolidating national unity becomes even more crucial.

The event also instilled great confidence and expectations. Dong Nai will have more specific mechanisms and policies to develop faster and more modernly, becoming a major industrial, service, and logistics center of the country. The material and spiritual lives of the people will be increasingly improved.

Mr. DANG VAN DIEM, Chairman of the Dong Nai Business Federation:
Connecting and supporting businesses in their development.

In recent years, Dong Nai has been experiencing rapid economic development, becoming an important growth hub for the country. The results show continued high levels of domestic and foreign investment attraction, strong growth in economic sectors, industries, and services; and rapid urbanization in parallel with economic development.

Simultaneously, Dong Nai has also received significant investment in infrastructure, from national highways to expressways, seaports, and airports. Dozens of industrial zones and clusters have been built to serve the needs of domestic and foreign businesses investing in the area. The business community in the area expects Dong Nai city to continue to make strong changes and breakthroughs in creating more favorable mechanisms and policies for production and business activities, nurturing business resources, the main driving force of development.

On the part of the Dong Nai Business Federation, in its role, it will strive to be a bridge between the government and the business community. Accordingly, it is responsible for conveying the policies, laws, and regulations of the State and the locality regarding planning, development, and management; and coordinating with relevant agencies to organize more effective activities in training, connecting businesses and markets, and supporting businesses.

Mr. DANG QUOC NGHI, Chairman of the Dong Nai Young Entrepreneurs Association:
Creating opportunities for the startup business ecosystem.

The establishment of the city is a major milestone, placing new demands on both the government and businesses. Dong Nai has a solid industrial foundation, a developed industrial park system, a strategically important location, and advantages from Long Thanh International Airport. The city needs to be reorganized within a new vision, linked to a green economy, digital transformation, modern logistics, and high-quality services.

In the future, Dong Nai will experience strong development and a large population, leading to a surge in consumer demand and commercial and service activities, creating significant opportunities for new industries. This presents a chance for businesses to flexibly grasp trends, diversify products, and build brands in a more systematic way.

To harness that immense potential and advantage, in addition to efforts, the business community expects a more transparent investment environment and the creation of conditions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups to participate more deeply in the supply chains of large projects, especially the industrial, logistics, and service ecosystem around Long Thanh International Airport.

Mr. NGO NGOC THUAN, Deputy Director of Dong Phu Cuong Joint Stock Company (Thong Nhat commune):
Dong Nai City needs sustainable development.

With its infrastructure advantages, Dong Nai city will attract significant investment and enhance the region's competitiveness. We will proactively invest, innovate, and support the locality in this development process, from improving production capacity to participating in value chains with higher technological content and added value. We also expect Dong Nai to continue strong reforms in administrative procedures, transparent planning, and a more favorable business ecosystem.

Another key point is that development must go hand in hand with sustainability – balancing economic growth, the environment, and the quality of life for the people. This will be a "key" factor for Dong Nai to truly become an attractive long-term destination for the business community. Businesses want to see significant improvements in logistics infrastructure, as well as a high-quality workforce and conditions that allow employees to stay with the company for the long term.

In addition, local development planning needs to be consistent and long-term, helping businesses feel secure in investing, expanding production, and enhancing their competitiveness in the international market.

Ms. Nguyen Bao Khanh (residing in Suoi Quyt hamlet, Cam Duong commune), a worker at Long Thanh Industrial Park:
Celebrate the holiday with feelings of pride and gratitude.

This year's April 30th celebration not only commemorates the glorious milestone of the complete liberation of the South and the reunification of the country, but also holds special significance for me and many workers in Dong Nai. The joy stems not only from its historical importance but also from the practical changes in our lives. I am very pleased that the city is increasingly paying more attention to developing social housing for workers. Many projects have been implemented, giving workers the opportunity to secure stable housing, reduce their financial burden, and work with peace of mind in the long term.

Like many workers, I have high expectations for the city's bright future. I believe that as Dong Nai develops to a new level, there will be more practical welfare policies for workers, such as healthcare support, education for their children, and the construction of more cultural facilities, recreational areas, and community centers to improve their spiritual well-being.

My feelings right now are a blend of pride, gratitude, and hope. We believe that, with the government's attention and the overall development of the locality, the lives of workers will become increasingly stable and prosperous, so that each person can feel secure and committed to contributing to the city's development.

Mr. VO BAO QUOC (in Tran Bien ward):
Proud to be a part of Dong Nai's transformation.

This year's April 30th is particularly special as Dong Nai stands before new development opportunities, aiming to become a modern, dynamic, and thriving city. This transformation is clearly felt through increasingly complete infrastructure projects, gradually improving people's lives, and many positive improvements in public services…

I consider myself fortunate to have been not only a witness but also a part of the city's development. I hope that Dong Nai city will continue to develop sustainably, so that every citizen can live, work, and feel secure in their lives here for the long term.
