General Luong Cuong speaks at the event. |
General Cuong made the request at a meeting of the Emulation and Reward Council held on June 28 in Hanoi.
At the event, the council spoke highly of the comprehensive performance of the emulation and reward work and the “Determined-to-win” emulation movement in the first six months of this year thanks to sound and close direction from leaders at all levels.
The council stressed that the “Determined-to-win” emulation movement has been carried out widely, intensively, and closely attached to the “Studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality, and style” and “Promoting traditions, devoting talent, deserving to be Uncle Ho’s soldiers” programs and other patriotism movements.
Attentively, such a movement has been a driving force for troops and soldiers in the whole military to bring into full play the revolutionary heroism, patriotism, and steadfast political stance, absolute loyalty to the Party, Fatherland and people, promote solidarity, exemplary spirit, readiness to undertake and fulfill all assignments. In addition, it has helped raise quality of training, exercises, strong unit building as well as boost international integration and defense diplomacy in an active, proactive, flexible and effective manner alongside active implementation of logistic and technical services, defense industry, and scientific research work.
The movement has also contributed to building healthy and strong party cells, strong units and forces in all aspects, and to mission fulfillment of the whole military in the first half of 2022.
With the gained achievements, a number of good examples have been honored and multiplied.
