* Nguyen Doan Anh, Secretary of the Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee, and Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Van Nghia, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Vietnam People's Army, attended the handover ceremony in Thanh Hoa City. They presented gifts and encouraged the new recruits. The quality of recruits in Thanh Hoa this year is higher than in 2024. Among them, 5.3 percent hold college or university degrees, nearly 25 percent are Party members, and 30 percent belong to ethnic minority groups. This achievement resulted from the provincial Council for Military Service's strict management of eligible citizens, regular reviews of graduates from universities, colleges, and vocational schools, effective education on the Law on Military Service, rigorous health screenings, and well-implemented policies for families of recruits.
