In recent times, the Party Committee’s Standing Board and the leadership of the General Department II have effectively fulfilled their central political tasks, many of which have been accomplished with outstanding results. The General Department has promptly provided strategic advice to the Party, the State, the Central Military Commission, and the Ministry of National Defense, enabling the adoption of sound policies and flexible, effective responses to emerging situations, thereby avoiding strategic passivity or surprise.
To fulfill its mission in the new context, the Party chief requested the defense intelligence sector to continue to strengthen its class and revolutionary character, reaffirming itself as an absolutely loyal and highly trusted force of the Party, the State, the military, and the people. It must continue to effectively perform its role as the strategic intelligence agency of the Party and the State, and as the specialized military intelligence agency of the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense.
The defense intelligence sector is tasked with providing effective and timely support to the Party, the State, the military, and relevant agencies at both central and local levels in assessing and evaluating situations, determining policies and strategies, and handling circumstances. It must strive to further enhance the quality of its operations and preserve the special trust that the Party, the State, and the military have placed in it.

The Party chief also urged the sector to continuously improve its organizational structure towards greater compactness, efficiency, and alignment with its functions; to build a solid and flexible intelligence posture; and to maximize the overall strength of all methods and forces.
The sector must place special emphasis on building a contingent of revolutionary intelligence officers, those with strong political will, sharp operational insight and thinking, professional competence, and knowledge commensurate with their assigned duties. The force should ensure a proper structure, ever-higher quality, and sufficient numbers to meet both immediate and long-term requirements.
