Concluding the meeting, Minister Giang called on agencies and units to build on recent achievements, draw lessons from shortcomings, and demonstrate strong determination to fulfill key missions for June.
He emphasized the need to strengthen management of the country’s airspace, waters, border areas, inland regions, and cyberspace, especially in strategic and key locations. He also stressed the importance of close monitoring, accurate forecasting of situations, and timely recommendations to address contingencies.
The defense chief instructed that inspections be conducted on the implementation of military and defense tasks, and that local military structures under the two-tier local administration system be streamlined towards an elite, compact, and effective model suitable for new conditions.
He also urged units to complete assessments for the first phase of this year’s training season and to organize training for parade contingents in preparation for the 80th anniversaries of the August Revolution and National Day. Regarding upcoming celebrations, particularly the 100th anniversary of the Vietnam Revolutionary Press Day, he called for meaningful and well-organized activities.
Lastly, agencies and units were tasked with accelerating renovation efforts, digital transformation, administrative reform, and the development of science and technology in June.
