After 50 years, the country is entering a new era – an era of striving for strong, prosperous development. The spirit of the Buon Ma Thuot Victory needs to be strongly promoted in the economic, cultural, educational, and social science fields, so that Dak Lak can develop rapidly and sustainably, worthy of its position as the center and main driving force of the Central Highlands region.
In the coming period, Dak Lak must continue to preserve and foster unity, integrity, and strength within the Party organization and the entire political system, creating consensus among all strata of the people to successfully implement the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress and the Resolution of the 17th Dak Lak Provincial Party Congress; and successfully direct and organize Party congresses at all levels, the 18th Provincial Party Congress, leading up to the 14th National Party Congress.
Focus on completing the streamlining of the political system's organizational structure to ensure efficient and effective operation, in accordance with Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW; building a team of truly pioneering, exemplary, dynamic, creative cadres who dare to think, dare to act, and dare to take responsibility in performing their duties; developing and attracting high-quality human resources to work in the province…
Continuing to promote the strength of national unity and the spirit of national harmony, meeting the requirements of reform, integration and development, ensuring national defense and security, and firmly protecting national sovereignty and borders.
Secondly, focus on innovating the economic model; developing harmoniously with the preservation and promotion of environmental, natural, and cultural values through new thinking and vision towards a green economy, circular economy, and integrated, smart infrastructure.
This requires leveraging unique advantages in climate, fertile land, natural resources (sunlight, wind, forestry), cultural resources, and human resources to develop with four main growth pillars: large-scale, high-quality, advantageous agricultural and forestry products linked to processing; renewable energy production and the digital economy – providing the necessary infrastructure to promote and attract investment; urban economy – a new driving force for development, adapting to climate change; and services, logistics, and tourism.
The goal is to harmoniously resolve the relationship between land, water, and forests, so as to both develop and preserve the pristine, rich, and unique natural values of the Central Highlands region.

Continue to develop a comprehensive and modern infrastructure, especially intra-regional and inter-regional transportation infrastructure, connecting neighboring provinces in the Central Highlands, the Central Coastal region, and the Southeast region.
The goal is to build Buon Ma Thuot into a true central urban area, a gateway to the Central Highlands region, integrating with the region and the international community; a green, ecological, smart city with a distinctive identity, a model of an urban area with unique values, connecting culture with nature, and adapting to climate change.
Fifth, combine economic development with social security to ensure that people enjoy a quality life with good social services, a protected environment, job opportunities, and high incomes. Pay attention to and care for policy beneficiary families, war invalids, sick soldiers, and those who have contributed to the revolution.
Building upon the glorious historical traditions and the tremendous achievements attained after 120 years since the province's establishment and 50 years since the Victory of Buon Ma Thuot, the Deputy Prime Minister expressed his hope and belief that, given Dak Lak province's position and role as a central hub for coordination and a major growth pole of the Central Highlands region, the Party Committee, government, military, and people of all ethnic groups in the province will uphold the immortal spirit of the Victory of Buon Ma Thuot and move forward into a new era of prosperous, affluent, and happy development.
