Binh Duong Newspaper would like to introduce the speech.

In the past quarter of a century, following the tradition, inheriting the achievements from the period of Song Be province, with the aspiration to help Binh Duong rise up, reach rich and strong development with solidarity, dynamism, creativity, Binh Duong properly and effectively tapped advantages and opportunities, overcoming many challenges to become a locality with dynamic development in terms of economy - culture - society, stability in political security. From the past few days of the workshop, Binh Duong’s image of the 25-year journey has once again been reappeared with all the pride of the local Party government, business community and people. Perhaps, this is the most vivid and practical demonstration about Binh Duong province's determination to build core values ​​on development culture on the way of innovation and international integration.

A quarter century during the journey of creating and always posing for itself challenges, daring pioneer innovation and breakthrough to get rid of the image of a difficult province is the aspiration and determination of generations of leaders and every citizen of the province. Following the tradition of Song Be province, Binh Duong has continued pioneering in historic decisions to explore this land with the first industrial parks in Vietnam, or the industrial park as a joint venture between the two governments of  Vietnam and Singapore, but now its effectiveness has been proven and replicated in many other localities across the country. From boulevards covering the whole province that are not funded by the State budget to hundreds of flights from developed territories and countries around the world to call, connect, bring investors and talents to the locality during the past 25 years, or decisive policy to build and transfer the modern intergated administration center, the province has created the most favorable conditions for the local people and business community. All have come from the creative model and way of a group of dynamic, thinking and daring leaders, the consensus of the people and the community's spirit of sharing the responsibility for the highest goal of paving the way for innovation and development. It is impossible to mention all the efforts by the local Party Committee and political system, the sacrifices and contributions of the business community and people from all parts of the country coming here to join hands to build up a a dynamic, modern, civilized and affectionate Binh Duong today. "Aspiration, innovation, convergence, responsibility, spread" are the values ​​that have been summed up and are the lessons of the province's development over the past 25 years.

Looking back at the development journey of the province, it is difficult for words to describe all the changes of this land after 25 years of separation from Song Be province. With its internal strength, strategic vision and aspiration, Binh Duong will have to further supplement and realize the aspirations of generations of leaders, business community and people in the local development culture philosophy. A philosophy in which the people are always the center of development and all policy directions, a philosophy that economic achievements are not only shared with the people of the province, but also have a mission spreading to all regions of the country. With the philosophy, Binh Duong always accompanies the whole country and is always for the whole country.

At the scientific workshop, Binh Duong province’s achievements, objective and subjective shortcomings were analyzed by delegates with scientific and dialectical views. Especially, profound speeches by Nguyen Xuan Thang, Politburo member, Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council has portrayed a comprehensive picture of a Binh Duong that is not only rich in the revolutionary tradition, heroic in the resistance war, but also extremely dynamic, creative, responsible and affectionate in the renewal period, strongly standing up from shortcomings, creating a creative and pioneering model of development in the national renewal process. After this forum, the province will synthesize and boldly propose petitions to the Government to institutionalize, legislate new models, propose support policies and specific mechanisms for localities where their industrial proportion is particularly high, greatly contributing to the State budget, creating jobs for laborers, serving as a driving force for the regional development and continuing strongly spreading throughout the country.

It is very emotional because despite many difficulties and challenges, Binh Duong has always received encouragement from central leaders, consensus and sharing of the local business community and people. I believe that with the spirit and success of this forum, we will continue uniting, working together to overcome difficult times, strongly carrying out our pioneering mission in the new development period.

With keen awareness of opportunities and challenges in the coming time while having to develop at a higher value ladder, Binh Duong province’s Party, government and people will continue posing new challenges and surmount them on the basis of flexibly and creatively applying guidelines and policies, understanding and applying modern scientific and technological achievements, seeking resonance and companionship from neighboring localities, countries and territories to continue developing to new heights, striving to successfully implement the direction of the Prime Minister in his working visit to Binh Duong on building a "new generation industrial ecosystem associated with the 4th industrial revolution, green, smart, sustainable, inclusive development, leaving no one behind", aiming at becoming the center, the driving force for regional and inter-regional connectivity, continuing being a pioneering model in efforts to overcome the middle-income trap for sustainable development towards a smart, civilized, modern city. Together with the whole country, the province will realize the vision and goal of turning our country into a developed country with high income towards socialist orientation by the middle of the century. The realization of this goal is the most worthy gratitude for the expectations of central leaders, for the determination of generations of local leaders, for the trust and solidarity of the business community, consensus of the people of the province as well as for those who have chosen Binh Duong as their second home on the way of finding their own happiness.

The workshop ended here, but it will open up broader, further prospects, visions, strategies, and strong motivations for Binh Duong to achieve success in the coming period.

Once again, on behalf of provincial leaders, we would like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to the fine deeds and affections of leaders, distinguished guests, business community and people of the province for Binh Duong during the past 25 years in general and the past few days of the workshop in particular. Binh Duong is looking forward to further receiving these precious sentiments because they are  an irreplaceable source of encouragement for the province on the way of realizing the aspiration for noble values, what the land and people of Binh Duong during the past 25 years did with the whole country and for the whole country.
