Regarding the criteria for awarding emulation flags, the General Department of Political Affairs worked closely with relevant agencies and units to revise and supplement specific contents and criteria to ensure the annual recognition process aligns with practical conditions. The updates aim to provide clearer classifications based on unit types, characteristics, and the severity of violations.
On the matter of the detailed planning of the Vietnam Military History Museum project, reports from functional agencies affirmed that all project items and components had been thoroughly reviewed, adjusted, and supplemented by the GDP’s agencies and consulting units in accordance with the directions of the Ministry of National Defense’s leadership. After these adjustments, the organization and zoning of functional areas within the museum are now well-balanced and logical, in line with the approved planning concept of “a museum within a park.” The planning solution also meets the architectural and zoning regulations of Hanoi and the needs of the managing unit and ensures a cohesive layout across different areas of the museum.
Concluding the conference, Defense Minister Phan Van Giang acknowledged and praised the efforts of the relevant agencies for preparing high-quality reports in alignment with the ministry’s directives. He instructed the agencies to carefully consider feedback from delegates and continue refining the draft documents to ensure clarity and precision.
Specifically regarding the emulation flag criteria, General Giang requested additional refinements, particularly in developing fair and objective scoring systems. These must be detailed and reflecting each unit’s distinct nature, ensuring both compliance with military regulations and recognition of the efforts of well-performing units. He also stressed the need for reasonable accommodation for units with long-standing traditions and large personnel numbers.
On the museum project, the defense leader agreed with the proposed revisions and called for adjustments to certain planning aspects. He directed agencies to plan for reserve land to address future needs and recommended integrating outdoor exhibits currently managed by other departments, services, and military branches into the Vietnam Military History Museum for consistency and comprehensiveness. With the number of visitors steadily increasing, he urged planners to expand visitor amenities, including parking, dining, resting, and recreational areas, to enhance comfort and satisfaction.
General Phan Van Giang concluded by instructing all relevant units to quickly finalize their documents and submit to higher level for approval.
