During a recent working visit to Dak Lak province, directives delivered by Party General Secretary, comrade To Lam bore not only profound political significance but further outlined key strategic orientations concerning the locality’s development in the new period.

The Party chief emphasised that the task for the next stage involves advancing robust development in terms of both scale as well as quality, generating substantive, tangible changes, while translating orientations contained within the Resolution adopted at the 14th National Party Congress into concrete measures yielding measurable outcomes from the outset of the tenure. This constitutes more than a requirement regarding growth pace; it also serves as a benchmark for evaluating the organisational plus implementation capacity within the local administration.

Among the key highlights emphasised by Party General Secretary, comrade To Lam was the call for a fundamental renewal in development thinking, shifting away from an approach centred on administrative territorial management towards one geared to shaping strategic development space, while defining the provincial role as a focal connector linking the Central Highlands with the South Central Coast as well as border areas.

Development space should be reorganised along the “coast-highlands-border” axis, with transport infrastructure, logistics, energy together with digital infrastructure acting as pillars underpinning the formation of new growth poles. Concurrently, the province is required to transform its growth model towards greater depth plus quality, powered by processing and manufacturing industries, renewable energy, high-quality tourism alongside the digital economy; remove institutional bottlenecks, particularly those concerning land managed by state-run agricultural as well as forestry farms; and undertake substantive improvements regarding the investment climate, viewing the private sector as a key driving force within the economy.

The Party General Secretary urged priority for education alongside vocational training, enhancement in the quality of human resources, particularly among youth as well as ethnic minority communities; adoption of people’s happiness together with living standards as a yardstick for growth; and a firm refusal to exchange environmental sustainability plus long-term livelihoods for short-term gains. Simultaneously, all development strategies are required to remain closely aligned with safeguarding national defence in conjunction with security, while advancing the construction of an action-oriented, disciplined, integrity-driven administration in service of the people.

From newly introduced requirements at central level through to local resolve for action, a consistent message has emerged: Dak Lak must secure breakthroughs through renewed thinking, innovative approaches along with fresh aspirations. This constitutes more than an expectation at central level; it also reflects an imperative arising within a land rich in potential, currently standing before a historic opportunity for a strong rise during the country’s new development stage.

Dak Lak is resolved to convert strategic orientations into concrete action, transform potential into strength, thereby generating stronger breakthroughs in the period ahead”.
