In the coming time, Dak Lak province proposes that the Central Government continue to create conditions for localities in the Central Highlands to accelerate growth, catch up with other regions in the country with specific mechanisms and policies. In particular, it is necessary to allocate public investment resources to invest in transport infrastructure connecting provinces in the Central Highlands region and between the Central Highlands and other provinces and regions.
Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh concluded the Conference.
Concluding the Conference, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh emphasized that in 2024, the socio-economic situation in the Central Highlands region has achieved positive results; however, it must be affirmed that this is still a region with poorer infrastructure connections than other places, people's lives are still difficult; the growth rate in terms of proportion is better but in terms of absolute value is still lower than other regions, the quality of human resources is lower than other provinces. Therefore, to develop, it is necessary to focus on overcoming the above limitations.
The Deputy Prime Minister requested members of the Central Highlands Coordination Council, ministries, functional agencies, and localities in the region to continue to be more active and proactive in implementing the tasks and solutions that have been set out, especially promoting traffic infrastructure projects that are still behind schedule; effectively directing the implementation of socio-economic development tasks associated with protecting security and national defense in the Central Highlands.
