   2. Conclusion

Based on research results and details presented in the thesis, the author can draw some conclusions:

1. Dong Nai is the Southern Key Economic Region and it plays an important role in areas of socio-economic development and national defense. In over 300 years of his formation and development, Dong Nai people have created and maintained a diverse, abundant cultural heritage, helping to shape the identity of this land in southern Vietnam, which is known for its resilience and heroism. 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.
2. The Party Committee of Dong Nai Province recognizes the importance of preserving and promoting the values of historical and cultural relics, therefore, between 1996 and 2015, the governance has circulated Party's ideas and orientations as well as the state's laws and policies in preservation of cultural heritage to fit with local context. 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.

1. In 20 years (1996-2015), there have been many practical experiences in preserving and promoting historical and cultural relics by the Dong Nai Party Committee. These experiences have provided many valuable lessons: thoroughly understanding and applying the Party's orientations and the State's policies in the process of preserving and promoting historical and cultural relics that are in accordance with the local conditions; Unleash the strength of the whole political system and various economic sectors in preserving and preserving historical and cultural relics, deeply combining the preservation of relics with activities geared at propagating and elevating values of historical and cultural sites. Address the relationship between socio-economic development and conservation and promotion of historical and cultural relics values. These lessons would be very valuable in implementing heritage preservation and promotion efforts of Dong Nai in the coming years.
