Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, General Phan Van Giang instructed the armed forces to continue implementing the principles of "two steadfast commitments, two accelerations, and two preventions," together with the guiding motto of the "Five strengths." He emphasized building a military that is politically, ideologically, and organizationally strong while strengthening political education, ideological leadership, and the determination of officers and service members.
