The military’s “Determined to Win” emulation movement has been developing continually for over 75 years, bringing into play the strength of the military to successfully perform tasks assigned by the Party, the State, and the people, contributing to national development and defense, said General Lich.
According to him, this congress was an occasion to review the patriotic emulation movement in the military and to honor the achievements in the movement over the last five years. It would also specify orientations, targets, and measures to step up the military’s emulation movement for the next five years.
He added that the congress was chosen as a model for others nationwide, and it will help with the success of the upcoming 10th national patriotic emulation congress.
