General Nguyen Trong Nghia speaks at the event. |
He highlighted the dedication and sacrifice of generations of staff who collected and preserved invaluable artifacts documenting the nation's struggle for independence and the combat history of the Vietnam People's Army.
The official underlined that the museum's collections hold not only historical, scientific, and artistic values but also serve as a living testament to Vietnam's struggle for independence, patriotism, revolutionary heroism, and aspiration for peace.
Through research, collection, exhibitions, and public education, the museum has promoted patriotism and historical awareness, strengthened political stance, built firm ideological foundation in the military, and supported efforts to counter hostile and wrongful viewpoints, signs of “peaceful evolution,” and “depoliticization” of the military while reinforcing the Party's direct and absolute leadership over the military in all aspects.
