Reportedly, in the first half of this year, Military Region 5 cooperated with local Party committees and authorities to carry out comprehensively all military and defense missions and Party building work.

Concluding the working session, General Cuong asked Military Region 5’s permanent members of the Party Committee and Chain-of-command to double check missions and targets for 2018.

He also requested the region’s armed forces to heighten revolutionary vigilance, follow closely any developments in the region, execute well all political education work and ideological orientation for cadres and troops.

Other work which was noted included close coordination with local Party committees, authorities and people to build a strong whole people’s defense posture, upholding training and combat readiness regulations at all levels, ensuring traffic safety, furthering supports for neighboring countries of Laos and Cambodia, actively preventing flooding and boosting search and rescue.
