General Phan Van Giang speaks at the event. |
Over the past decade, Directive 05 has been implemented comprehensively, synchronously, innovatively and creatively by the entire military, contributing to agencies and units’ accomplishment of assigned political tasks.
The implementation of Directive 05 has served as a driver for the entire military to overcome all challenges and difficulties, heightening their self-reliance, pro-activeness, and creativity.
In ten years, the whole military has launched more than 1,030 new models, creative and effective programs on studying and following Uncle Ho’s example, helping to promote solidarity among soldiers, and close-knit ties between troops and people, shining the good qualities of Uncle Ho’s soldiers.
In his speech, General Phan Van Giang gave a brief on the military’s outcomes and outstanding achievements in studying and following Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality and style over the past a decade. He also laid emphasis on role models in the work.
Given complex and unpredictable global and regional situational developments, posing higher requirements for the military, the defense chief urged every cadre, personnel, soldier and worker in the military to further study and follow Ho Chi Minh’s thought, ethics and style anywhere, anytime, in each action, each deed and in any work position.
He asked for continued embracement and implementation of Directive 05, and more political and ideological education sessions among cadres, Party members, and the public to make the work become voluntary, regular, and an intrinsic need of each person.
He requested the whole military to closely combine the work with performance of their political tasks and Party building and rectification; resolutely fight against manifestations of ideological, political, moral, and lifestyle degradation and signs of “self-evolution” and “self-transformation.”
