In the early days of 2026, many information appeared on social networks about locations and suggested that Lam Dong province had "finalized" the location of the new administrative - political center.
However, on January 5, the Department of Construction of Lam Dong province Lam Dong province is still in the process of carrying out procedures to advise and propose the location of the new administrative - political center of the province according to the direction of the Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee.
Previously, on the morning of December 31, 2025, Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee held a meeting to listen to the Department of Construction report on the implementation of advisory tasks and proposals for the new administrative - political center of the province.
The meeting was chaired by Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Hong Hai. However, according to research, the content of the meeting only revolved around discussing some implementation procedures...
At the same time, at a press conference to inform about the socio-economic situation of the province, Mr. Dinh Van Tuan - Vice Chairman of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee - affirmed that the selection of a new administrative center is a major issue, with a long-term impact, so it must be assessed cautiously and comprehensively.
The advisory work is still being assigned to the Department of Construction to implement and there is no official information to announce.
As Lao Dong newspaper has reported, previously, on November 14, 2025, Chairman of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Muoi assigned the Department of Construction to preside over and coordinate with the Department of Finance and departments, branches, and localities to review planning and research investment in building a new administrative - political center of the province.
The requirement is that the proposed location must have development space, creating motivation for land funds, trade, services, tourism, high-tech zones and expanding urban space.
In addition, the new administrative - political center must ensure convenient transport connection with economic, financial, industrial, scientific - technological centers and important national transport axes. These are considered key criteria, requiring a thorough survey and evaluation process in many different areas.
By December 4, 2025, the Department of Construction had issued a document requesting an extension of the task implementation time. The reason given is that the consultation content is of particular importance, requiring more time for field surveys, analysis of existing plans, assessment of investment potential of each area and selection of optimal plans.
At the same time, the Department of Construction also proposed to select an independent consulting unit to ensure objectivity and science in the proposal process.
Thus, functional agencies have not yet officially announced the location of the province's new administrative center.
