During his glorious revolutionary career, especially in his role as Party General Secretary and CMC Secretary, comrade Nguyen Phu Trong attached much importance to building a revolutionary, regular, elite, gradually-modernized military, ensuring that the Vietnamese troops are absolute loyal to the Party, the Fatherland, and the people; always ready to fight and achieve victory; actively and pro-actively engage in natural disaster prevention, disease control, and search and rescue; take the vanguard role in safeguarding the ideological foundation of the Party, combating hostile viewpoints, and excellently fulfilling assigned tasks in any circumstances.

During working sessions with the CMC and the Ministry of National Defense (MND), General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and Party and State leaders evaluated that in any circumstances, officers and soldiers in the whole military are always steadfast, united, and resilient, overcoming difficulties and successfully completing all assigned tasks. They always give strategic advice to the Party and State on military and defense matters, promptly and effectively handle situations, especially during sensitive and complex times.
