Addressing the ceremony to mark the 80th founding anniversary of the GDP (December 22, 1944 - 2024) in Hanoi on December 12, the Party chief, who is also Secretary of the Central Military Commission, highlighted the outstanding achievements, breakthrough development, and glorious tradition of the department over the past 80 years, underlining its great contribution to victories of the VPA.
Emphasizing that ensuring defense and security remains a vital and constant task for the entire Party, people, and military, the leader said that the Party and State place extreme importance on strengthening military and defense capabilities, and on building a revolutionary, regular, elite, and modernized VPA.
That requires further promoting the role and sense of responsibility of the GDP, political agencies, along with political commissars and officers of political affairs across the military, he noted, urging them to continue upholding the glorious traditions of the nation, the VPA, and the department.

Besides thoroughly grasping the Party's viewpoints and guidelines as well as the State's policies and laws on military and defense affairs, the department should actively advise the Politburo, the Party Central Committee's Secretariat, and the Central Military Commission on measures for implementing relevant resolutions, directives, conclusions and regulations of the Party, along with policies and laws of the State, thus effectively safeguarding the Fatherland, he requested.
The Party chief also asked the department to focus on preparing for Party congresses within the military for the 2025-2030 tenure.
The Military Party Organization must pioneer in implementing the Party's policies on building and rectifying the Party and the political system, promoting the studying and following of President Ho Chi Minh's thought, moral example and lifestyle, and continuing to streamline the political system's organizational apparatus to ensure efficient and effective operations, he demanded.
General Secretary Lam also underscored the need for the GDP to keep improving political education within the entire military, ensuring the Party’s absolute, direct and comprehensive leadership over the military and building a politically-strong VPA.
He pointed out the importance of improving the quality of learning Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh's Thought, the Party's viewpoints and guidelines, and the State's policies and laws, making sure that all officers and soldiers have strong political mettle, stay absolutely loyal to the Fatherland, Party, State and people, are capable of identifying and foiling sabotage plots, and immune themselves from “self-evolution” and “self-transformation.”
