According to reports delivered at the event, over the past five years, the “Determined to Win” emulation movement has been creatively implemented by staff units, creating momentum for agencies and units under the General Staff to successfully fulfill important political missions.
Particularly, staff agencies and units actively performed their role as think-tanks for the Central Military Commission, Ministry of National Defense, the Party, and State to issue strategic guidelines and measures on military and defense, contributing to raising the combined strength of the military in firmly safeguarding the national sovereignty and integrity. They seriously maintained combat readiness postures, closely follow situational developments, paid attention to building firm defensive areas, and effectively coordinated with other forces to ensure security at important events of the Party and State.

The meeting also concluded that the emulation movement in education and training activities for the staff units was effectively carried out in line with the “Strategy for development of education and training in the military by 2020.” The General Staff’s affiliates focused on renewing training programs, augmenting the professional competence of instructors, and effectively applying scientific studies on defense strategy, military history, military science, IT, and environment to their tasks.
More importantly, their external defense affairs have been implemented in line with the Party’s guidelines and State’s policies, contributing to ensuring a peaceful and stable environment as well as raising the position and prestige of the Vietnam People’s Army in the international arena.
