In his opening remarks, General Nguyen Trong Nghia emphasized that the Military Theater is a cultural work of special significance to the military, the capital of Hanoi, and the whole country. He noted that the project must not only meet performing arts requirements but also serve as a cultural highlight, reflecting the thoroughly grasped Party resolutions on cultural development in the new era. It will host international arts events and cultural exchanges, helping elevate the military’s defense diplomacy and international cooperation to a new height.
Over the past time, the Department of Logistics (the standing body of the steering committee) has proactively coordinated with functional agencies of the Defense Ministry and the General Department of Political Affairs. It has also worked closely with the design consultant (GMP Company) and the contractor (Sun Group) to smoothly execute the initial design and construction phases without any conflicts or hurdles.
Concluding the meeting, General Nguyen Trong Nghia highly valued the frank, responsible, and constructive feedback from the delegates. He highly valued the determination and initial results achieved by the steering committee and functional agencies, particularly in completing investment preparation procedures. To date, the units have finished several crucial steps, including the demolition of old underground and surface structures, geological surveys, and construction of test piles and guide walls.

Agreeing with the Department of Logistics’ proposal on the design consultancy plan, General Nguyen Trong Nghia assigned the department to coordinate with relevant agencies to study and implement the agreement in principle with the design consultant. He requested the agencies to maintain the highest political determination, strictly ensure quality, technical standards, and absolute safety, and prevent any negative practices during the project’s implementation. The construction process must feature enhanced application of science and technology, environmental protection, and strict control over the coordination mechanism among consulting, design, and construction units to avoid affecting the project’s quality and schedule.
The general also asked functional agencies, including the Department of Legal Affairs, the Department of Finance, and the Department of Military Internal Security Protection, to closely accompany the project throughout its implementation, ensuring transparent auditing and acceptance testing in accordance with the law.
Earlier on the same day, General Nguyen Trong Nghia inspected the construction site of the Military Theater project at No.33 Pham Ngu Lao street, Cua Nam ward, Hanoi.
