At the meeting  
Over the past years, these units have fulfilled all their assigned training missions as well as strictly maintained combat readiness, contributing to building strong units. In addition, they have effectively carried out defense external relations, and UXO clearance, and worked together to grasp the local situations and tackle complicated issues in localities and border areas. 

Addressing the event, General Nam highly valued the units’ great achievements in implementing local defense and military tasks over the past time. He asked the units to actively study and well grasp the situations of the localities, especially in the border areas; give good advice to localities' Party committees and People’s committees to effectively implement defense and military tasks. In addition, they should pay attention to building strong commune-level police and militia forces. The local armed forces were also asked to effectively carry out the government’s Decree No.77 and organize defensive area exercises and strengthen people’s trust in the army.
