Reports at the meeting showed that the Central Military Commission’s Standing Board, leaders of the Defense Ministry and chains-of-command of defense agencies and military units at all levels conducted all defense agencies and military units to successfully fulfill the defense and military missions in May. Particularly, defense agencies and military units strictly observed the regulations of combat readiness, grasped the situation, as well as coordinated closely with police forces to quickly handle arising issues denying any negative strategic surprises during big anniversaries and important national events.

Leaders of the Defense Ministry continued conducting the implementation of Conclusion 16/KL of the Politburo, reviewed the plan on a new organization of military regions, army corps, military services and arms as well as the Vietnam Border Guard Command and some agencies of the General Staff. During the month, all defense agencies and military units enhanced political education, launched short-term emulation drives in celebration of national anniversaries, held meaningful activities to mark 65 years of the Dien Bien Phu Victory and 60 years of the opening of the Ho Chi Minh Trail and Foundation Day of Truong Son Troops. The whole military also effectively struggled against wrong views and fault information while guiding the public opinion and troops to the truth and correct information and views.

Regarding major tasks in June, General Lich asked all under-ministerial defense agencies to complete legal documents on defense and military missions, promote information and implementation of the 2018 Law on National Defense and Law on Vietnam Coast Guard so as to bring these laws to life. Agencies and units of the whole military should strictly abide by the regulations of combat readiness, well conduct training work, carefully review and assess the training drive for new enlistees, and conduct live-fire exercises in a safe and effective manner.

Chains-of-command of all military units should enhance the management of their troops, focus on building a regular military order in their units, reduce wrongdoings and offences, and preserve the beautiful image of Uncle Ho’s Soldier while frequently giving sufficient information about the 10th Meeting of the 12th Party Central committee and the seventh session of the 14th National Assembly.
