Based on the research results and the content presented in this thesis, the author can draw the following conclusions:

1. Dong Nai is located in the Southern key economic region, holding a strategic position in the country's socio-economic development and national security. Over more than 300 years of formation and development, the people of Dong Nai have created and preserved a diverse and rich cultural heritage, forming the unique identity of this "hard-working yet heroic" land of the South. With its rich history and culture...

With its long history, Dong Nai currently preserves many unique cultural values, along with a distinctive system of historical and cultural relics. These relics are an important part of the national cultural heritage, serving as evidence of the community's development. In this context, the people are both the owners and the core force in building, protecting, and promoting the value of the local historical and cultural relics. Therefore, educating the community, especially the younger generation in Dong Nai, about the preservation of cultural heritage in general and the preservation and promotion of the value of historical and cultural relics in particular is a shared responsibility of the entire society.

1. Recognizing the role and importance of preserving and promoting the value of historical and cultural relics, from 1996 to 2015, the Dong Nai Provincial Party Committee thoroughly implemented the Party's viewpoints and policies, and the State's laws and regulations on preserving and promoting cultural heritage values ​​in accordance with the local situation; promptly proposing leadership and guidance on the preservation, restoration, and promotion of historical and cultural relics in conjunction with socio-economic development. As a result, the work of preserving and promoting the value of historical and cultural relics has achieved significant results. Many relics in the province have been restored, renovated, and revived in a timely manner, making a positive contribution to the sustainable development of Dong Nai.

However, alongside the achievements, the leadership of the Dong Nai Provincial Party Committee in the conservation and promotion of historical and cultural relics still faces many shortcomings, such as: inconsistent mechanisms, policies, and management; a shortage and weakness of human resources working in the conservation of historical and cultural relics; and low quality and effectiveness of conservation and restoration work. These are major challenges facing the Party Committee and all levels and sectors in Dong Nai during the process of reform and integration. Therefore, the Dong Nai Provincial Party Committee needs to continue to innovate its leadership methods and improve the quality and effectiveness of conservation and promotion of historical and cultural relics in line with the context of integration.

1. The 20-year (1996-2015) experience of the Dong Nai Provincial Party Committee in leading the work of preserving and promoting the value of historical and cultural relics has yielded many valuable lessons: Correctly understanding and applying the Party's guidelines and the State's policies on preserving and promoting the value of historical and cultural relics in accordance with local realities; leveraging the strength of the entire political system and economic sectors in the work of preserving and promoting the value of historical and cultural relics; closely integrating relic preservation with propaganda and promotion activities; and correctly resolving the relationship between socio-economic development and preservation and promotion.

promoting the values ​​of historical and cultural relics. These valuable experiences will provide important suggestions for implementing conservation and promotion work on historical and cultural relics in Dong Nai in the coming years.

1. Further research directions:

• The research topic should be developed to broaden its scope to include issues related to heritage conservation in the Southeast region of Vietnam.

With a long tradition of history and culture, nowadays, Dong Nai retains many interesting cultural values, as well as a distinctive system of historical and cultural relics. Those are an important part in Vietnam's overall cultural heritage, and an evidence of the community's development. Local residents are not only protectors but also help build, protect, and promote the value of such local relics. Therefore, educating people, especially the younger, about the importance of preserving cultural heritage in general and historical-cultural relics in particular, is a responsibility of the whole community.

The governance quickly proposes leadership frameworks and activities to help preserve, restore, and promote the values ​​of historical and cultural relics that are relevant to socio-economic development. Thanks to that, there have been notable achievements in the preservation and promotion of the value of such historical and cultural relics. Many relics in the area have been promptly restored, renovated, and preserved. Altogether, this contributes positively to the positive development of Dong Nai province. However, aside from positive results, there are some drawbacks in the leadership process in preserving and promoting the value of historical and cultural relics of Dong Nai Party Committee. Some of them are: inconsistent mechanisms, policies, and management practices; a lack of qualified human resources in heritage preservation; and insufficient quality and effectiveness in the preservation and restoration of relics…These are big challenges for the Party Committee at all levels in the path of reform and integration. Therefore, the Party Committee of Dong Nai Province needs to consistently renew its leadership approach, therefore improve the quality and efficiency of the preservation and promotion of heritages with the context of integration.
