A view of the delegates participating in the session.
In her opening address, Comrade Cao Thi Hoa An, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairwoman of the Provincial People's Council, underscored that 2025 is a year of profound historical significance, marked by major national milestones: The 80th Anniversary of the August Revolution and the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam; The 50th Anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification; The successful organization of Party Congresses at all levels, progressing toward the 14th National Congress of the Party. Comrade Cao Thi Hoa An emphasized that 2025 serves as a critical transition point: it is the final year for the 2020–2025 resolution while simultaneously being the inaugural year for the first-term Provincial Party Committee resolution (2025–2030). Furthermore, this year marks the beginning of a decisive revolution in streamlining and reorganizing the political system, with a firm determination to propel the nation into a new era of development.
Regarding the local situation, the Chairwoman noted that Dak Lak continues to navigate a landscape of persistent difficulties affecting production, business, and livelihoods. Most notably, in November, the province was severely impacted by natural disasters, including storms and floods, which resulted in heavy losses of life and property for both the state and its citizens.
However, under the close guidance of the Central Government and the Provincial Party Committee, and with the collective resolve of all sectors, the business community, and the people, Dak Lak has demonstrated remarkable resilience. The province has successfully adapted to new requirements, synchronously implementing socio-economic goals and tasks for 2025 to overcome challenges and stabilize the local economy.
Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairwoman of the Provincial People's Council Cao Thi Hoa An delivered the opening speech at the session.
The province's socio-economic situation remains fundamentally stable, with several sectors recording positive growth compared to the same period last year. Social security has been consistently ensured, while national defense and security have been strengthened to maintain local stability. A notable highlight is the increasingly smooth operation of the local government at both levels, characterized by a streamlined and effective organizational structure that has significantly improved administrative reform and problem-solving for citizens and enterprises.
While acknowledging the recorded achievements, Chairwoman Cao Thi Hoa An identified several areas that require further focus and enhanced efforts. Most notably, the province's economic growth rate reached 6.68%, showing a slight gap compared to the initial targets. Additionally, the public investment disbursement rate stood at 43% as of early December 2025, primarily due to ongoing complexities in compensation, site clearance, and the coordination of regional planning. Furthermore, the implementation of National Target Programs and the attraction of new investment have encountered certain headwinds in the current economic climate. The Chairwoman also noted that there is room for improvement in the efficiency of processing administrative files within some agencies to better serve the public. To move forward, she encouraged the Provincial People's Council to conduct a thorough review of these challenges to identify practical and effective solutions. The ultimate goal is to ensure the steady fulfillment of development targets for 2026 and the remainder of the term.
