Therefore, it is very difficult to invest in infrastructure and take care of people because there is no money, specifically in Bien Hoa City, there is a lack of schools, so the class size is very high; Also because there is no money, the roads in Dong Nai are worse than in neighboring provinces.

Speaking at the meeting, President Nguyen Xuan Phuc said that the economic development of Dong Nai in recent years has accounted for 12% of the GRDP of the whole region. As an industrial province, Dong Nai is also a leader in new rural construction; The income and living standards of rural people are not too different from those of urban areas.

Dong Nai has a very important role and position in the economic development of the country. Dong Nai is known as one of the localities with the earliest industry, such as Bien Hoa 1 Industrial Zone, established in 1960 and the most developed in the country. President Nguyen Xuan Phuc affirmed that, for many years, without the leading role and development motivation of Dong Nai and the Southeast key economic region, the country will face difficulties.

The President also assessed that the quality of health care and education is among the best of the whole country. The situation of security and social order is basically guaranteed even though it is an industrial province with many immigrants; including many complex social objects.

 

During the two years of the Covid-19 epidemic, Dong Nai was one of the localities hardest hit by factory closures and social distancing orders, labor supply disruptions and disruptions to the global production chain. But thanks to strong internal resources, the effective leadership of the Party Committee and the solidarity of the whole people, Dong Nai's economy still has positive growth. Currently, the province's production and business are recovering quickly. In the first 6 months of this year, the province's economy increased by 7.06%, ranked the first in the Southeast region and higher than the national average growth rate.

President Nguyen Xuan Phuc said that the above results were achieved through the efforts, determination, energy, bravery and wisdom of the Party Committee, authorities and people of Dong Nai Province and the business community and investors in the province.

President Nguyen Xuan Phuc suggested provincial leaders must have a new vision and new aspirations to avoid being left behind. According to the President, now, Dong Nai must be a development pole for Binh Phuoc, Binh Thuan or Lam Dong instead of continuing to rely on Ho Chi Minh City for development as the philosophy of the early period. Dong Nai needs to find new growth drivers to create a breakthrough and lead the growth of the region and the whole country.
