This year, military units will continue carrying out the Secretariat of the Party Central Committee’ and Central Military Commission Standing Committee’s instructions, and the Government’s and Defence Ministry’s resolutions, decisions, and instructions to ensure traffic safety. The whole army targets to reduce the number of accidents and casualties.

The ministry asked military units to promote dissemination and education of law on traffic safety for troops and defence workers, boost the management of the men and vehicles, as well as well manage and effectively exploit military vehicles.
Relevant units were also asked to cooperate with the National Committee for Traffic Safety and involved forces to strictly deal with those who use fake military license plates for illegal actions and help localities prevent traffic congestion.
