Particularly, the military accurately evaluated and predicted arising situations and made timely recommendations for the Party and State to issue guidelines and policies to deal with various issues, contributing to firmly safeguarding national sovereignty and integrity and protecting the Party, socialism, and people. Military units strictly maintained combat readiness and cooperated with ministries, central agencies, and localities to build a strong all-people’s defense.
On the occasion, the delegation visited and worked with the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Protection Command.
At the working session, General Luong praised the remarkable results obtained by the unit this year and emphasized that under the leadership of the Party Committee and Command of Mission 969 (or the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Protection Command), the unit has completed all assigned missions given high requirements for its tasks in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Deputy Defense Minister asked all agencies, units, and staff of the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Protection Command to manage and operate technical equipment safely, effectively, and economically. The unit was requested to cooperate with other forces to ensure security and absolute safety at the President Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Ba Dinh Square, and K9 historical relic site, especially during the 13th National Party Congress and the elections of deputies to the 15th National Assembly and people’s councils at all levels for the 2021-2026 term.
