He affirmed that along with performing political tasks as the organ of the Central Military Commission and Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense and the voice of the armed forces and people, over the past years, the newspaper has cooperated with organizations, businesses, and benefactors to conduct social activities in localities across the country.

Ahead of the upcoming lunar New Year 2023, the newspaper and the Kind Heart Foundation have worked together to hand over 1,500 Tet gifts, worth VND 900 million in total, to needy households in Dien Bien, Lai Chau, Ha Giang, Ha Nam, and Thanh Hoa.
