He highlighted the newspaper’s pioneering role in implementing political missions and disseminating information about the Party’s policies, guidelines and the State law, the military’s missions, and other resolutions and directives issued by the Central Military Commission, Ministry of National Defense and others.
He praised the newspaper for its articles about units’ training, combat readiness, search and rescue activities and its social impact writing contest named “Simple but noble examples.”
Regarding protecting the Party’s ideological foundation, General Can spoke highly of the newspaper’s articles on “peaceful evolution” schemes, signs of “self-transformation” and “self-evolution”, and erroneous and hostile viewpoints.
He urged the newspaper’s staff and workers to stay united, maintain a high sense of responsibility, overcome difficulties, and complete all assignments. He also emphasized the need to improve the quality of the newspaper and human resources and develop multimedia communications to attract more domestic and international readers.
