At the conference, delegates further clarified reasons, methods and correct choices that have enabled Binh Duong province to achieve outstanding results over nearly 40 years of national renewal, especially during 27 years of development. Additionally, discussions mentioned difficulties, challenges and opportunities in the upcoming period and proposed long-term ideas for Binh Duong to create strategic development breakthroughs in the next period.

According to the delegates, in the context of a rapidly changing and unpredictable world, many new factors have emerged, posing significant challenges. Additionally, Binh Duong still faces many shortcomings such as the lack of strong financial resources, overloaded technical and social infrastructure, the shortage of high-quality human resources. The province’s industrially developed economy is not matched by adequate development in the service and trade sectors within the economic structure

Recognizing difficulties and opportunities, Binh Duong needs to adopt appropriate policies and resolutely strive for sustainable development towards becoming a smart, civilized, and modern city. By 2030, it aims at becoming a center of modern industry and services, with urban development under a green growth model, adaptable to climate change, with strong national defense and security, international cooperation and competition. It will be a dynamic development hub and a key growth pole of the Southeastern region and the country. By 2050, Binh Duong will become a fully smart province with a green and sustainable economy, a stable and harmonious society, deep and effective integration while strengthening a robust defense and security system to support development and a government system that serves the people in the Southeast region and the entire country…
