They proposed that relevant agencies and units, including the Commission for Information, Education and Mass Mobilization; the Ministry of Public Security; the Viet Nam Academy of Social Sciences; Ha Noi authorities; and agencies under the Ministry of National Defense, pro-actively coordinate and synchronously implement their assigned tasks to ensure that the conference is conducted in a solemn, practical, and effective manner.
In his concluding remarks, Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Van Gau emphasized that the conference would be an event of profound political and historical significance. Therefore, preparations must be carried out seriously, scientifically, and systematically, while the conference content must demonstrate depth and comprehensively reflect the historical stature and significance of the event, as well as its theoretical and practical values.
He requested the Viet Nam Institute for Defense Strategy and History to focus on reviewing the content, agenda, and composition of delegates, and assigning specific responsibilities to relevant agencies and units.
He also called for relevant agencies, units, and scholars to complete their presentations on schedule and improve the quality of editing and evaluation. They should further clarify the decisive factors behind the victory of the Nationwide Resistance and draw historical lessons of lasting value for the current cause of national construction and defense.
