With more than 90,000 officers in military units, servicewomen have heightened their responsibilities and devoted themselves to accomplishing their assigned missions, deserving the golden words awarded by President Ho Chi Minh “heroic, indomitable, loyal, capable.”
Over the past 30 years, with the proactive, sharp, and creative spirit, the Military Women Advisory Board has gradually grown up and become a leading strategic advisory body on women work and movements in the military.
With the outstanding achievement gained by the unit over the past time, military women and the Military Women Advisory Board have been honored with noble awards and orders, including the second- and third-class Feat-of-Arms orders, the first- and second-class Fatherland Protection orders, certificates of merit from Prime Minister, emulation flags, to name but a few.
Speaking at the event, Senior Lieutenant General Le Huy Vinh, Deputy Defense Minister, praised the great achievements and contribution of the unit over the past 30 years, requiring the unit to grasp the targets and tasks of the revolution and the military to implement women work and movements in an effective manner.

Senior Colonel Phung Thi Phu delivers a speech at the ceremony. |
The unit should focus on building a strong organization in terms of politics and ideology, contributing to building a clean and strong Party organization. Meanwhile, the unit should raise the quality and efficiency of women activities in the stationed areas, as well as step up cooperation in mass mobilization to consolidate defense - security, promote socio-economic and cultural development, and tighten the military-civilian ties.
Also, leaders at all levels should create favorable conditions for military women to improve their capabilities and pay more attention to taking care of female military officers and their families.
The deputy defense minister expressed his belief that military women would uphold the glorious traditions of the Vietnamese people to undertake all assigned missions, deserving the trust of the CMC, MND, troops in the whole military and people.
