The focus should be on enhancing the comprehensive leadership capacity and combat strength of the Service's Party Organization, ensuring it is strong in political, ideological, ethical, organizational, and personnel aspects, he said, calling for resolute action against corruption, negative phenomena, and signs of degradation, "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the ranks.
In addition to its core duties, the President encouraged the ADAF to actively engage in poverty reduction, disaster prevention, and rescue efforts while bolstering defense diplomacy to contribute to securing weapons and equipment for national defense tasks.
Lt. Gen. Tran Ngoc Quyen, Secretary of the ADAF’s Party Committee and Political Commissar, vowed that the ADAF troops, regardless of circumstances, will remain united, overcome difficulties, and fulfill all assigned duties, living up to their role as a core force in the mission of firmly defending the nation's skies.
