Particular emphasis was placed on meeting the requirements of training, exercises, combat readiness and combat operations under all circumstances, as well as disaster prevention and response and epidemic control. He also stressed the need to further renew and improve logistics and technical support mechanisms in the new situation, while continuing to enhance standards of living and healthcare for troops, thereby contributing to stronger overall combat capability.

Special attention should be given to weapon systems and equipment of strategic significance, alongside improving the quality of scientific research at research institutions and training establishments within the general department and across the military’s logistics and technical sector.
The Party leader also stressed the need to place greater emphasis on caring for the welfare of service personnel, from meals, accommodation and daily living conditions to healthcare, particularly for officers and soldiers stationed in remote, border and island areas.
