In the first six months of 2026, the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense have provided sound strategic advice to the Party and State on military and defense matters, maintained the strategic initiative, and prevented any passive or unexpected situations. Efforts to build a politically strong military have continued alongside comprehensive Party and political work and strict implementation of the Party's resolutions and regulations.
The military accelerated organizational restructuring, improved training quality, combat readiness and force building, while intensifying research and mastery of strategically important technologies, strengthened cybersecurity, information security and data protection, stepping up Party building and rectification efforts, and fostering international integration and defense diplomacy.
Regarding tasks for the second half of the year, General Secretary and State President Lam urged the Central Military Commission, Party Committees and commanders at all levels of the military to deeply grasp the principle that safeguarding the nation from an early stage and from afar must begin with the ability to identify risks early, forecast developments accurately and act pro-actively.
He stressed the need to maintain the military’s core role in firmly defending the nation under all circumstances, improve strategic research and forecasting, pro-actively identify traditional and non-traditional security threats, including cyber threats, and further enhance training, combat readiness and management of airspace, maritime areas, borders, inland territories and cyberspace. It is a must to firmly safeguard national independence, sovereignty, unity, territorial integrity and national interests while elevating international integration and defense diplomacy to build strategic trust and prevent strategic surprises, he stated.
