During the inspection, he observed the process of classifying, selecting, scanning, and digitizing archival files. He emphasized that these archives are invaluable; therefore, digitizing them serves as not only preserving important references, but also a way to honor the contribution of previous generations. If not digitized promptly, such documents risk deterioration, damage, or loss over time.

Lieutenant General Do Xuan Tung particularly stressed that inaccurate or careless digitization could lead to the loss of vivid historical evidence of past dedication and sacrifice of personnel. He set forth several key requirements: digitization must be absolutely precise with no errors; selection should focus on documents directly supporting the digital transformation of Party and political work, while avoiding wastefulness. Internal documents already available in digital form should be utilized. He also highlighted the critical importance of information security and confidentiality.
