Addressing the event, the GDP’s Deputy Chief Lieutenant General Do Xuan Tung emphasized the special strategic importance of Vietnam’s ethnic minority communities and mountainous regions. These areas are closely linked to national borders and serve as a strong shield in national defense.

Under the leadership of the Central Military Commission, the Ministry of National Defense, the GDP, party committees and chains-of-command at all levels, the mass mobilization work has been comprehensively and effectively implemented across the military. The image of "Uncle Ho’s soldiers" living among the people, sharing meals and daily life, especially in remote and disadvantaged areas, continues to be a noble symbol of the close bond between the military and the people, and a shining example of the Party’s mass mobilization efforts.
The GDP’s deputy chief urged all participants to uphold a high sense of responsibility, seriously study to grasp the content thoroughly, actively engage in discussions... He also encouraged them to identify and propose practical, creative, and effective solutions to well conducting mass mobilization activities at their units and localities.
