Defense external relations were also conducted in an intensive and effective manner.
Furthermore, relevant defense agencies completed legal documents to submit to the National Assembly for approval on military and defense issues, so as to meet the requirements of force building and national protection mission in both the short and long terms. They actively cooperated with ministries, agencies, and localities to carry out socio-economic development programs and projects and defense and security consolidation missions.
Agencies and units under the Defense Ministry well maintained combat readiness and firmly defend the territory, airspace, seas, and cyberspace while raising the quality and effectiveness of training, education, and scientific research.
