Minister Giang urged the GDP to continue researching, advising, and proposing effective solutions to the Politburo, Secretariat, and Central Military Commission (CMC) to build a politically strong military, maintaining the Party's ideological realm in the military.

The GDP was also encouraged to ensure the organization and implementation of national and military events in 2025, direct the preparation and implementation of the 11th “Determined to Win” Emulation Congress, and enhance media, cultural, and artistic activities to meet the needs of the soldiers and the people.
