General Cuong chairing the working session |
Speaking at the meeting, General Cuong acknowledged the achievements of all military units. Notably, the agencies and units thoroughly grasped and strictly carried out the Party’s guidelines, the State’s policies and law, and the political tasks in studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s moral example, and the fourth Resolution of the 12th Party Central Committee on Party building and revamping as well as the movement "Promoting tradition, contributing talent, deserving to be Uncle Ho's soldiers.” The emulation movements have become a driving force for the whole military to fulfill all assigned political tasks and contributed to building a military strong in politics, ideology, ethics and organization.
In addition, the emulation movements also played an important role for troops to continue implementing three major strategic tasks of good training, firm combat readiness and proactively foiling the schemes of hostile forces, contributing to ensuring an environment of peace and stability for national construction and defense.
To well implement the tasks in the last six months of the year, the Council’s director asked all military units to thoroughly grasp the Party's the Central Military Commission's (CMC) and the MND’s directions, resolutions on carrying out the Party-political and defense relations work, as well as to learn from experience and overcome weaknesses and limitations.
