Strengthen discipline, intensify action.

From the beginning of 2025, Dong Nai province required its departments, agencies, and localities to decisively implement socio-economic development tasks; at the same time, it tightened administrative discipline and order among officials and civil servants. As a result, the province's GRDP growth in 2025 achieved an impressive 9.63%, significantly exceeding the target set by the Government and marking the highest growth rate in many years.

The socio -economic development results in 2025 are expected to be a solid foundation, making a significant contribution to helping Dong Nai province implement the Resolution of the 1st Provincial Party Congress, term 2025-2030, and the 14th National Party Congress right from the first year.

BILLION-DOLLAR PROJECTS REACH COMPLETION

In mid-December 2025, the Nhon Trach 3 and Nhon Trach 4 thermal power plants, invested by the Vietnam National Energy and Industry Corporation ( Petrovietnam ) in Dai Phuoc commune, Dong Nai province, were simultaneously inaugurated. These are two key national energy projects, the first gas-fired power plant complex in Vietnam using liquefied natural gas (LNG), with a total capacity of 1,500 MW and a total investment of US$1.4 billion, adding 9 billion kWh of electricity to the economy annually. It is expected that these two thermal power plants will contribute approximately VND 1 trillion to the provincial budget each year.

To ensure the official inauguration and supply of electricity to the national grid for the Nhon Trach 3 and Nhon Trach 4 thermal power plants, Dong Nai province has resolutely resolved administrative procedural difficulties. Specifically, provincial departments and agencies have completed the land lease process for the construction of the power plants, the power grid system, and the cooling water channel system. In addition, the Provincial Police have intensified support in ensuring security, order, and fire prevention and control during the construction, trial operation, and official commissioning phases.

On December 15th, Vietnam Airlines' most modern Boeing 787 aircraft, flight number VN 5001, made its debut at Long Thanh International Airport. This is a significant event, marking the first phase of Vietnam's largest and most modern airport project, ready to welcome its first official flight on December 19th. This event also opens up new connections between Vietnam and the world via the airspace of Dong Nai province, creating further impetus for development not only in Dong Nai but also in the entire Southeast region, enhancing competitiveness in attracting investment and promoting socio-economic development.

After completing major projects in 2025, the province will continue to implement many other large-scale infrastructure projects in 2026. Therefore, departments, agencies, and localities, especially their leaders, must always be ready to act. First and foremost is the land clearance work, considering it a key task and an administrative target. Instead of building small, scattered resettlement areas, the province will construct sufficiently large areas with complete and well-equipped cultural facilities to be ready for the resettlement of people whose land is being acquired for project implementation.

Attending the inauguration ceremony of the Nhon Trach 3 and Nhon Trach 4 thermal power plants, and inspecting the Long Thanh Airport Project on the same day, December 14th, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh praised Dong Nai province's efforts in accelerating the progress of key national projects. The implementation of numerous national-level projects in the province also instills confidence and expectation in the province's dynamism, potential, and advantages within the development space of the Southeast region and the entire country. The Prime Minister also expressed confidence that, with a series of projects inaugurated in 2025, Dong Nai will develop even more strongly in the coming years.

GREAT EFFORT, HIGH DETERMINATION

According to Provincial Party Committee member and Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Ha, the "golden" time of 2025 is drawing to a close. Therefore, the Provincial People's Committee has been decisively directing departments and agencies to make the most of this time to achieve the highest possible results. One of the priorities at this time is to focus on accelerating key projects in the province, especially the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 Project and the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway Project, aiming for their rapid completion to connect with Long Thanh Airport.

Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Ha also stated: Besides projects currently underway and nearing completion, the Provincial People's Committee is actively directing departments and agencies to prepare the necessary documents and procedures so that major provincial projects can commence construction immediately after commencement, instead of having to wait for land acquisition and procedures as before. To expedite this massive workload, it is crucial to resolutely and seriously implement the "six clear principles": clear person, clear task, clear responsibility, clear authority, clear timeframe, and clear results. This also serves as the basis for evaluating the performance of officials and civil servants in the province's new phase.

In 2025, despite achieving the highest GRDP growth rate in many years and reaching the 100 trillion VND mark for the first time in budget revenue, the provincial People's Committee leadership conveyed a spirit of not being complacent with the achievements to the departments, agencies, and localities. At the recent 8th session of the 10th Provincial People's Council, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, Nguyen Van Ut, emphasized the importance of 2026 for the Party Committee, government, and people of Dong Nai. This is not only the first year of implementing the 5-year socio-economic development plan (2026-2030) but also the first year of implementing the Resolution of the 1st Provincial Party Congress and the 14th National Party Congress.

Building on the achievements of 2025 and the goals for 2026, the entire political system, from the provincial to the commune level, and the business community must be determined to strongly innovate their thinking, act more decisively, and achieve clearer results. The province will strive to maximize its potential and advantages, mobilize all resources, and create favorable conditions for the production and business activities of the people and businesses, especially promoting the strong development of the private economy. Taking advantage of the gradually improving infrastructure, in 2026 the province will also continue to implement many large projects, including the Gia Nghia - Chon Thanh Expressway Project, Ring Road 4, and the commencement of important bridges connecting Dong Nai and Ho Chi Minh City to promote economic connectivity and generate revenue for the budget.
