Party building and rectification work has been comprehensively promoted; Party inspection, supervision, and discipline have been strictly implemented, with no forbidden areas. Mass mobilization, ethnic and religious work, and administrative reform have continued to be innovated and effectively promoted; people's trust in the Party, the State, and the political system has been constantly consolidated, creating a solid foundation for new developments.
In recent years, the three provinces of Lam Dong, Dak Nong and Binh Thuan have all achieved many positive results in the fields of economy, society, national defense, security, Party building and the political system.

Connecting three ecological regions: plateau - midland - coastal
After the merger, the General Secretary suggested that Lam Dong province urgently rebuild the master plan for socio-economic development in the new period, based on an open space structure, connecting three ecological regions: plateau - midland - coastal, creating a unified, synchronous development entity with strong spreading ability. In particular, urban centers, industrial parks, agriculture and services, seaport systems, airports, logistics, digital infrastructure and ecological corridors must be integratedly planned, operated intelligently and closely linked; it is necessary to form an East-West strategic development axis connecting the Central Highlands, coastal areas...
Delegates attending the meeting
The General Secretary pointed out that the great advantages of the new Lam Dong province in terms of diverse economic structure, abundant mineral and wind resources, solar energy, leading agricultural products in the country, and a unique tourism ecosystem from the highlands to the sea, will be the foundation for developing a green economic model - circular economy - digital economy - knowledge economy. The province must develop rapidly but sustainably, must be steadfast in the green development orientation, in which the Central Highlands upstream forests, La Nga river basin, Cai river, Luy river and Binh Thuan sea need to be strictly protected as ecological shields for the entire South Central and Southeast regions; need a strategy with enough vision and capacity to lead development not only for the locality, but also contribute to shaping the development space of the Central - Central Highlands region for many decades to come.
The province needs to synchronously deploy strategic breakthroughs associated with regional development practices and the spirit of the Central's major resolutions, which must be synchronous, consistent and mutually complementary, becoming the driving force leading all aspects of development, from institutions to infrastructure, from businesses to people.
Delegates attending the meeting
Emphasizing that people are the center and subject of all strategies, the General Secretary suggested that it is necessary to arouse the spirit of self-reliance, self-improvement, and the desire to rise up and become rich legitimately of the people; make comprehensive investments in culture, education, health care, and develop high-quality human resources for high-tech agriculture, green industry, logistics, and digital transformation. At the same time, Lam Dong province will preserve and promote the unique cultural values of ethnic minorities, and build an environment that encourages creativity, learning, and entrepreneurial spirit throughout society.
The General Secretary noted that maintaining national defense and security and creating broad social consensus are the foundation for success in the entire unification and development process. Localities must not allow management gaps, social hot spots or reduced operational effectiveness. The authorities must regularly grasp the situation at the grassroots level, proactively detect and promptly handle acts of taking advantage of, inciting and distorting the Party's unification policy and the State's policies; it is necessary to make the people understand that unification is not about eliminating but expanding development space, but about multiplying opportunities and promoting potential for a common future and a better life for each citizen.
To successfully organize Party Congresses at all levels, the General Secretary requested to ensure a steady transition in thinking, organization and staff in the new development space. The preparation of congress documents must reflect a new vision, new aspirations and new missions; must look straight at the truth, clearly point out the bottlenecks and bottlenecks in the old development model, and at the same time arouse new potentials opening up in the context of integration and digital transformation.
The General Secretary emphasized that the Party Committee's personnel must be connected and closely linked with the leadership personnel of elected and administrative agencies at all levels, ensuring continuity, stability and smooth operation of the apparatus immediately after the establishment of the new province; focusing on restructuring and improving the quality of the staff, civil servants and public employees. The training and fostering of staff in the transitional period must be carried out urgently, systematically and closely following the characteristics of the newly merged locality. Party Committees and authorities at all levels fully realize that this Party Congress at all levels is not only a transition in organization, but also a transition in leadership thinking, governance models and methods of action appropriate to a new, larger, more complex and more opportunity-rich administrative entity.
Regarding the recommendations and proposals of the three provinces, the General Secretary acknowledged and assigned the Central Party Office to synthesize and send them to relevant agencies for research and urgent consideration to resolve them within their authority, ensuring compliance with legal regulations and in the spirit of maximum support for the localities.
