He emphasized that as 2024 and following years will continue to see complicated and unpredictable regional and world situations, the General Department of Defense Intelligence must continue enhancing its strategic forecast capacity, grasping the situation and timely advising the Party and State on appropriate measures to firmly protect the Fatherland "early and from afar." 

The general department should actively implement measures to enhance the leadership capacity and combativeness of its Party Committees and Party organizations and roll out comprehensive measures to develop an elite, streamlined, professional and effective defense intelligence force.
