General Department II is a key force with a very important role in gathering information, assessing and forecasting situations, and advising leaders of the Party, State, Central Military Commission, Ministry of Defense, and various agencies and localities in formulating strategies and policies, handling situations pro-actively, and ensuring that there are no surprises or passivity in terms of strategies.

The Party and State leader acknowledged and highly praised the significant achievements and glorious tradition of the force, while also setting high demands for it in the new situation.

He noted that the global and regional situations will continue to experience complex and unpredictable changes, directly and rapidly impacting Vietnam with both positive and negative effects.

This places an increasingly heavy responsibility on the force, requiring even greater efforts and determination to fulfill its assigned tasks so as to contribute to the collective efforts of the Party, the people, and the armed forces to successfully accomplish the two strategic tasks of building and defending the socialist Vietnam in the new context, he stressed.

The top leader required the force to assert itself as the absolutely loyal and highly trusted force of the Party, State, military, and people; and continue to fulfill its role.

It must strive to further improve the quality of its operations, and effectively and diligently serve the leadership of the Party, State, military, and various agencies and localities in assessing and understanding the situation, formulating strategies and policies, and handling various scenarios, said Lam.

The force must always prioritize the development of a contingent of personnel with strong political resolve, sharp insight, and professional thinking, as well as qualifications and expertise commensurate with their roles and responsibilities, considering this as the foundation for building a revolutionary force, he added.
