Military academies, schools, agencies, and units will continue raising their troops’ and staff’s awareness of and responsibility for learning foreign and ethnic minority languages as a regular task.

The Department of Military Personnel and relevant units will study and add foreign and ethnic minority languages skills to the list of criteria for higher posts in the military and to assess non-commissioned officers and military workers.

Units under the General Department of Politics will disseminate the importance of foreign and ethnic minority languages skills in the context of international integration and in building a revolutionary, regular, elite, and increasingly modern army.

Meanwhile, military academies, schools, agencies, and units will continue raising their troops’ and staff’s awareness of and responsibility for learning foreign and ethnic minority languages as a regular task. They will make foreign and ethnic minority languages ability to be one of the criteria for the overall assessment of cadres.

Forces, which are set to move straight to modernity, and units directly engaging in external defense relations work, should first augment their officers and soldiers’ foreign languages skills, while units stationed in ethnic minority groups’ places must learn the ethnic minority groups’ languages.
