Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Tan Cuong urged forces to promote information dissemination to prevent Vietnamese ships from fishing in foreign waters and drive away foreign vessels encroaching on Vietnam’s waters.
In addition, units should focus on managing border gates, border paths, and maritime border areas to prevent illegal border crossing and crime and persistently fighting against violations of agreements and violations of Vietnam's territorial sovereignty, General Cuong added.
He also emphasized the need to closely follow the situation in the cyberspace, so as to promptly take measures to remove malicious information that undermines the Party, State and military.
The chief of the General Staff also requested the General Staff to complete the “Education - Training Development Strategy in the 2021-2030 period, with the vision to 2045” to submit to the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission for approval.
