Over the past 80 years of construction, combat, and development, generations of cryptography officers, staff, and soldiers have consistently demonstrated a strong sense of responsibility, vigilance against all hostile plots and schemes, and absolute protection of national and military secrets. They have continuously cultivated moral qualities and lifestyles, maintained internal solidarity, effectively coordinated with other agencies and units, built standardized regulations, strictly observed the Party’s guidelines, State laws, and military discipline, and developed comprehensively strong, “exemplary and typical” agencies and units. Through tireless efforts, generations of military cryptography personnel have made significant contributions to the glorious history of the sector, earning many high-level commendations from the Party, State, and Army. Seven units have been awarded the title Hero of the People’s Armed Forces during both the resistance war against the U.S. and the renewal period.
Delivering his directive speech, on behalf of the Central Military Commission, the Ministry of National Defense, and the General Staff, General Nguyen Tan Cuong acknowledged and congratulated the outstanding growth and proud traditions that the Department of Cryptography and the Military Cryptography Sector have achieved over the past eight decades. He urged the sector and the department to uphold their traditions and achievements while focusing on key tasks.
On this occasion, authorized by the State President, General Nguyen Tan Cuong presented the second-class Fatherland Protection Order to the Department of Cryptography.
