Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the province Vu Dinh Trung: Continue to promote the strength of the great national unity bloc to build the country in the new era

The victory of April 30, 1975 was an important historical event, from then on, the country was unified, the country was united, the country was filled with joy. This unification not only brought peace, but also created conditions for the reconstruction and development of the economy , culture and society of the whole country. Moreover, the victory was also a clear demonstration of the resilient and indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese people in the struggle for independence.

In the atmosphere of the entire Party, the entire army, and the entire people enthusiastically competing to achieve achievements to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification, we are proud of the position and the continuous development of the material and spiritual life of the people of Dong Nai.

After 50 years of unification, together with the whole country in implementing the Party's renovation policies and guidelines, institutionalizing the State's policies and laws and promoting the strength of the great national unity bloc, Dong Nai has had a strong transformation and achieved many great achievements in all aspects. This development is not only reflected in economic, cultural - social , defense - security indicators, but also in international position, social stability and people's lives.

The country is entering a new era, the era of the digital economy and the 4.0 industrial revolution. A new page in the country's development is opening, requiring us to further promote the spirit of national pride, patriotism and the desire to contribute to a prosperous and happy Vietnam. The solidarity, determination and dedication of the entire people will help Vietnam constantly rise up and affirm its position in the international arena in the new era.

Head of the Provincial Youth Union's Propaganda Department Phung Thi Phuong Thao: The young generation continues to preserve and promote revolutionary achievements

The Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day on April 30, 1975 is a brilliant milestone in the nation's history, demonstrating the indomitable spirit, strong will and patriotism of the entire Vietnamese people in the struggle for national liberation and national reunification. Education on revolutionary traditions and propaganda about the significance of this historical event help today's young generation better understand the value of peace and independence, as well as the responsibility to preserve and promote the achievements of the revolution; arouse national pride, foster the spirit of dedication, and train noble ideals for youth union members. This is an important foundation for building a generation of youth who are "both red and professional", responsible for themselves, their families and society.

In the work of the Youth Union and Association, the work of educating revolutionary traditions is always a matter of regular concern. Commemorations like this help union members and young people better understand the value of peace, reflect on themselves, and thereby more clearly define their role and mission in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland. Although the social context has changed a lot, the traditional values and good cultural features of the nation are still preserved and promoted by the young generation in their own way.

Captain Le Nguyen Ngoc Nhat, working at the Weapons Warehouse, Department of Logistics and Engineering, Ministry of National Defense: Engrave and continue the heroic tradition of the nation

I am very honored to represent the military force to participate in the parade to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025). As a child born and raised in Song Ray commune, Cam My district - a land that suffered much pain during the war but has risen strongly in peace, I am even more deeply imbued with the sacred value of April 30. From the first days of training in Bien Hoa city - where the joint training of the entire military force was held, I clearly felt the heroic spirit and pride surging through every step and every movement.

Not only is it a display of force, but the parade is also a profound gratitude to the generations of fathers and brothers who sacrificed for the independence of the Fatherland. For me, each step of the parade is an honorable promise that today's young generation will continue to preserve and promote the achievements of the revolution. I always remind myself to strive to train and strive to be worthy of the soldier's uniform and the trust and love of the people. This is not just an event, but a mark in my military life, an unforgettable memory.

Participating in this parade, I feel I am carrying a sacred responsibility not only to represent the image of today's soldiers, but also to represent the young generation to be grateful, remember and continue the heroic tradition of the nation.

Vice Chairman of Ta Lai Commune People's Committee (Tan Phu District) Dang Son Lam: Pay attention to developing communes in remote areas

Looking back 31 years (1994-2025) after the separation of Phu Lap commune into Phu Lap and Ta Lai communes, Ta Lai commune has gone from having many "no" infrastructures to now having electricity, roads, schools, stations... all covered and connecting residential areas with gardens and fields, creating conditions for socio-economic development, improving the cultural and spiritual life of the people.

Hopefully in the coming time, all levels will continue to pay attention to investing in infrastructure for remote communes; exploiting the potential and development strengths of these localities, to create jobs, increase income for people, helping to gradually narrow the income gap between urban and rural areas.

Mr. Tran Kiem Hoa (residing in Cam Duong commune, Long Thanh district): Expecting Long Thanh International Airport to help Dong Nai "take off"

We expect that when completed and put into operation, Long Thanh International Airport will increase its advantages in attracting investment, promoting economic development for Dong Nai province as well as neighboring provinces and cities. Especially promoting regional tourism and becoming a gateway to welcome international tourists to Vietnam.

Developing services accompanying the airport can bring significant revenue to the locality; at the same time, saving social costs, costs for businesses exporting and importing goods by air when Dong Nai province has many businesses specializing in producing many products for export.

In the immediate future, to create the premise for the development of Long Thanh Airport, it is necessary to strengthen the connection with a suitable road traffic infrastructure system with a long-term vision. In particular, it is necessary to soon expand existing routes and open new routes connecting to the airport to facilitate travel and increase regional connectivity.

In addition, the locality needs to have appropriate planning for residential areas, schools, and hospitals to meet the future development needs of both Dong Nai and neighboring areas.

Mr. Ngan A Phuoc (Chinese ethnic group, a prestigious person among ethnic minorities in Vinh An town, Vinh Cuu district): Happy when the country is peaceful and developed

The Chinese people in Vinh An town have great faith in the Party and the government and know how to unite and work together to do business. Thanks to that, since the country's reunification, the Chinese people as well as other ethnic minorities such as Choro, Stieng, Tay, Nung, etc. in Vinh An town have always overcome difficulties, strived to get rich, and contributed human and material resources to build the locality to develop more and more.

Every morning when I wake up and see the peaceful neighborhood, the green gardens, and the students wearing neat and clean clothes going to school, I feel happy. Because only when the homeland and country are peaceful can the people truly enjoy independence, freedom, and happiness to the fullest.

Hopefully, in the coming time, authorities at all levels will continue to pay attention and create favorable conditions for ethnic minorities in the province in terms of investment capital for production, science and technology, jobs, etc., so that people have conditions to develop their family economy and have a more and more prosperous life.

Ms. Tran Thi Kieu Tien, worker in Loc An - Binh Son Industrial Park (Long Thanh district): Creating more jobs for workers

The April 30th holiday is not only of historical significance, but also an occasion to rest and reunite with family. I personally feel happy, love life and am grateful to the previous generations who bravely fought for the independence and freedom of the nation. If there was no national reunification day, my family and I would not have had the peaceful life we have today.

As the next generation, I always encourage myself and my family members to strive to work and study. No matter what position or job you are in, try your best. That is the best way to show gratitude and contribute to building the country.

In the context of many fluctuations in the world economy, the life and work of workers in the province are still stable and increasingly improved, which is a positive sign. Hopefully, in the coming time, workers in the province will continue to receive support from the State, creating more stable jobs; at the same time, creating conditions for migrant workers to buy social housing in installments or at preferential prices, suitable for their income.

Ms. Pham Thi Thanh (residing in Tan Van ward, Bien Hoa city): Hopes for the country to develop, become rich and prosperous.

These days, watching the news of military drills and parades on newspapers and radio on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day, I feel very excited. This is an opportunity for everyone to look back at the familiar heroic image, the image of the Vietnam People's Army. Through that, it reminds everyone of national pride, sacrifice, love for compatriots, for the country, for the freedom and development of today. From there, everyone lives more responsibly for themselves, their families and society, following in the footsteps of their fathers and brothers, contributing to building the country.

The country has had many positive changes since liberation. In recent years, despite many difficulties, natural disasters, epidemics, etc., with the immortal spirit of April 30, under the strong and correct leadership and direction of the Party and State, and the consensus of the people, Vietnam has gradually overcome all difficulties and challenges and continuously developed strongly.

In the coming time, it is forecasted that the world economic situation will have many fluctuations, and Vietnam will hardly avoid the impacts of those fluctuations. However, with the leadership of the Party, the State and the consensus of the people, I believe and expect that Dong Nai in particular and the whole country in general will overcome all challenges, bringing the country to continue to develop sustainably. Our country is entering a new era, an era of national development according to the Party's direction.

Mr. Pham Quang Anh (residing in Binh Da ward, Bien Hoa city): Many new projects serve the people

On April 19, in Dong Nai, two projects were inaugurated and started construction to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day. They were the groundbreaking ceremony for the CC1 apartment building under the Bao Vinh Ward Social Housing Project (Long Khanh City) and the inauguration ceremony for the upgrading and renovation of the Provincial Boarding School for Ethnic Minorities in Trung Hoa Commune (Trang Bom District). These projects are all aimed at serving the needs and interests of the people.

Obviously, Dong Nai people are looking forward to more infrastructure projects in all areas: transportation, culture, economy, etc. to meet the needs of the people. Because only by innovating in quality and increasing the quantity of infrastructure can we create a new look, marking the development of the locality over the past decades.

In particular, people across the province, especially in urban areas, also want an effective drainage system, anti-urban flooding and modern wastewater treatment facilities to protect the living environment. Along with that, the waste collection, transportation and treatment system needs to be scientifically organized, ensuring environmental sanitation and having more parks and trees in urban areas, contributing to improving air quality, creating a relaxing space for people.

To do so, Dong Nai needs to have a long-term infrastructure development strategy, large investment capital, open policies and mechanisms, attracting the participation of private enterprises, while ensuring the quality and progress of projects. Many infrastructure projects put into use in recent times have created a bright "picture", contributing to improving the quality of people's lives and development opportunities for the locality.

Veteran Bui Huy Sinh (residing in Bao Hoa commune, Xuan Loc district): Believes in the revolution of streamlining the organizational apparatus of the political system.
In addition to paying attention to investing heavily in infrastructure development, Vietnam is promoting innovation and restructuring the political system's apparatus towards being lean, compact, strong, efficient, effective, and efficient. In my opinion, this is an urgent requirement, especially the combination of streamlining the apparatus with restructuring the contingent of cadres with sufficient qualities and capacities to match the tasks, close to the people, and close to the people to better serve the people.
I believe that, with the strong and correct leadership of General Secretary To Lam, the revolution to streamline the organizational apparatus of Vietnam's political system will be successful; creating breakthrough changes to build a streamlined political system that operates effectively and efficiently, meeting the requirements and tasks in the new revolutionary period, bringing the country into an era of development, an era of national growth.
