General Giang pointed out that the restructuring of the political apparatus following Resolution 18 has been carried out over the past seven years and entered its 8th year this year. The defense leader added that the armed forces have very special characteristics, so the restructuring must be done according to a separate plan. He announced that up to now, the MND and the Ministry of Public Security have basically completed their restructuring tasks.

The MND is currently reviewing the implementation of Resolution No.05-NQ/TW, dated January 17, 2022, of the Politburo on the organization of the Vietnam People's Army in the 2021-2030 period and the following years; and Resolution No.230-NQ/QUTW, dated April 2, 2022, of the Central Military Commission, on the leadership over the implementation of the organization of the Vietnam People's Army in the 2021-2030 period and the subsequent years.

The review results showed that the MND has completed the implementation of Resolution No.05-NQ/TW one year ahead of schedule. The ministry has merged units and completed all tasks in line with Resolution No.05-NQ/TW and Decree No.01/2022/ND-CP, which stipulates the functions, tasks, powers, and organizational structure of the MND.
