The Government has officially issued Resolution No 95/NQ-CP, dated April 6, 2026, regarding the proposal to establish 10 wards within Dong Nai Province and to upgrade the southern province to a centrally-run city.
The establishment of Dong Nai as a centrally-run city serves not only as recognition of the province's past achievements but also as a catalyst for sustainable future development. Under the Resolution, the Government has tasked the Ministry of Home Affairs to lead and coordinate with relevant agencies to finalize the necessary procedures, ensuring the transition process is smooth and compliant with regulations.
According to national and regional master plans, the future Dong Nai City will be developed under the model of an "industrial capital, modern urban area, logistics hub, and high-tech agricultural center." This vision aims not only to improve the quality of life for residents but also to create a favorable business environment to attract both domestic and foreign investment.
However, achieving centrally-run status also presents several challenges, particularly in urban infrastructure management and development. Local authorities will need to concentrate resources on upgrading technical, digital, and social infrastructure.
Furthermore, the administrative system must be reorganized according to a strict and feasible roadmap. This process requires close coordination across all levels of government, as well as active participation from the business community and the general public.
