On behalf of the Party and State leaders and with my personal feelings, I would like to send to the leaders, former leaders of the Party, State, Vietnam Fatherland Front , leaders of Dak Nong province through the periods, revolutionary elders, heroic Vietnamese mothers, heroes of the armed forces, heroes of labor, religious dignitaries, international guests, compatriots and comrades my warmest greetings, sincere greetings and best wishes.
Dak Nong is an ancient land, located on the M'Nong plateau, at the end of the Truong Son range, holding a very important position in terms of economy - society, national defense and security of the Central Highlands and the whole country. As a land rich in cultural identity with 2 internationally recognized heritages: the gong cultural space and the global geopark, Dak Nong is also endowed by nature with a favorable climate and soil for agricultural and tourism development; has many potentials and advantages, especially bauxite minerals to develop into the bauxite - alumina - aluminum and post-aluminum industrial center of the whole country.
During the resistance war, the province was the cradle of the anti-French colonialist movement in the Central Highlands; it had the strategic North-South corridor passing through it, the route to support human and material resources for the anti-American cause to save the country. The Party Committee and the people of all ethnic groups in Dak Nong province have a tradition of revolutionary patriotism, love of labor, full of creativity and aspiration to rise up, and have made many great contributions to the cause of national liberation and unification in the past and to the cause of innovation, construction and protection of the Fatherland today.
Implementing Resolution No. 22/2003/QH11 dated November 26, 2003 of the 11th National Assembly on re-establishing the province, after 20 years of construction and development, Dak Nong has achieved many important and quite comprehensive achievements, escaping the status of a poor province; maintaining a fairly high growth rate, economic structure shifting in the right direction; infrastructure has developed remarkably; initially forming the foundation of the bauxite mining industry, alumina processing, renewable energy, high-tech agriculture.
With efforts to improve the business investment environment, infrastructure development investment strategy, and choosing the right growth pillars, Dak Nong has been and is an attractive destination for many domestic and foreign investors. The appearance of urban and rural areas has been strongly improved, more spacious, cleaner, full of new vitality, new spirit, with the desire to rise up, promising to become a new growth engine of the Central Highlands and the whole country.
The national defense and security situation in the area is always maintained; national border sovereignty is firmly protected; political security and social order and safety are ensured; foreign affairs activities are expanded. The work of preventing and combating corruption, negativity and practicing thrift and combating waste is directed with attention; the relationship between the Party, the government and the people is consolidated and strengthened.
On behalf of the Party and State leaders, I warmly welcome, congratulate and commend the great results and achievements that the Party Committee, government and people of all ethnic groups in Dak Nong province have achieved in 20 years of construction and development, actively and effectively contributing to the achievements of nearly 40 years of national renovation.
