Top 30 Aspiration and Breakthrough Journey in the New Era

In the context of a rapidly changing world, Vietnam is setting itself an ambitious goal: to enter the group of 30 economies with the world's leading GDP scale by 2030. This is not only a strategic vision, but also a strong commitment to a journey of rapid, sustainable and self-reliant development after nearly 40 years of innovation.

It is no coincidence that the above goal is mentioned with such great confidence. Looking back at the 2020 - 2025 term, despite being severely affected by the pandemic and the global economic recession, Vietnam has maintained macroeconomic stability, maintained growth, improved the investment environment and promoted many strategic pillars such as digital transformation, infrastructure development and institutional improvement. That result is an important "runway" for the 2025 - 2030 period, our country can break through with a new position: the position of an economy that is confident in deep integration and ready to step up to a higher level of development.

Strategic infrastructure projects are being implemented to help Dak Lak have the opportunity to make a breakthrough in the coming time.

However, to enter the group of 30 economies with the largest GDP in the world, Vietnam cannot follow the old mindset or growth model based on resource exploitation, investment capital and cheap labor. The road ahead requires a new dynamic system; in which science and technology, innovation, digital economy, green economy, circular economy and high-quality services must become the central pillars. Growth must shift from breadth to depth, from “doing a lot” to “doing well”, from output to added value.

A development-oriented government needs to continue to improve institutions, promote administrative procedure reform, ensure transparency and integrity to create a favorable business environment, and foster the trust of businesses and people. When the apparatus acts strongly, dares to take responsibility, and dares to change for the common good, national capacity will be liberated and social strength will be unleashed.

Looking from the national strategy to the local steps, it can be seen that the spirit of breakthrough has been concretized by Dak Lak province by adjusting the Provincial Planning for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050, with the GRDP growth target for the period 2026 - 2030 reaching over 10.5% per year. This shows that Dak Lak does not stand outside the development flow, but proactively seizes opportunities, dares to set big goals to grow stronger in the new period.

This belief is even more grounded when looking at the potentials that the province possesses: high-tech agriculture with key products such as coffee, durian, pepper; central location in the Central Highlands with space for regional development; large potential for renewable energy; and breakthrough opportunities when strategic infrastructure projects are being promoted. If Dak Lak continues to attract selective investment, focus on deep processing, develop logistics and promote digital transformation in governance, it can completely become a new growth pole of the region and the whole country.

Returning to the Top 30 aspiration, it is not a distant dream, but a well-founded goal when Vietnam continues to maintain macroeconomic stability and create a favorable development environment. To do so, the country must be steadfast with three strategic pillars: perfecting modern - transparent - open institutions; investing heavily in a synchronous and regionally connected infrastructure system; and building a high-quality workforce to meet the requirements of the digital age. At the same time, promote the internal strength of the Vietnamese people: intelligence, perseverance, creativity and aspiration to rise up.

The road ahead is certainly not smooth, but with strong political determination, strong innovation thinking and consistent action from the central to local levels, Vietnam can absolutely enter the group of 30 leading economies by 2030, not only by growth rate, but also by development quality and national stature.
