On July 8, the Central Military Commission held its 10th Conference to review and evaluate the results of leadership in implementing military and defense tasks and building the Army Party Committee in the first 6 months of the year and discuss and resolve policies and solutions to lead the implementation of tasks in the last 6 months of 2024.
I acknowledge and appreciate the achievements and results that the Central Military Commission has led and directed the entire army to achieve in the first 6 months of the year and hope that you will achieve even better results in the last 6 months of the year.
In the first 6 months of 2024, the world and regional situation continued to have many new and unpredictable developments; strategic competition between major countries took place fiercely; military conflicts escalated in some countries and regions that were not controlled, continuing to have many impacts on global security and development.
In the country, some limitations and shortcomings are slowly being overcome. The impact of climate change, natural disasters such as floods, droughts, and saltwater intrusion have had a severe impact in many localities. Recently, a number of fires have caused serious damage to people and property, negatively affecting social life.
Hostile forces thoroughly exploit and deepen the existing shortcomings and limitations in some areas of social life to sabotage our Party, State and regime.
In that context, under the comprehensive and timely leadership of the Party, the drastic and flexible direction and administration of the Government, the support of the National Assembly, and the close coordination between ministries, central agencies and localities, we have achieved encouraging results: Politics and society are stable, the economy continues to maintain its development momentum (GDP growth reached 6.42%, far exceeding the 3.72% increase in the same period in 2023); national defense, security, and foreign affairs are consolidated and enhanced; the work of building and rectifying the Party and the political system is promoted; people's trust in the Party and the State continues to be enhanced.
The Politburo and Secretariat promptly issued important resolutions, directives and conclusions, especially regulations on revolutionary ethical standards for cadres and party members in the new period.
The Central Committee has well organized four conferences to decide on important issues of the country, including high-level personnel work of the Party and preparations for the 14th National Party Congress. The National Assembly has organized four sessions to decide on important issues of the country, perfecting the high-level leadership of the State, ensuring timeliness, creating consensus among the people and the whole society.
In the first six months of the year, the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense have thoroughly grasped and strictly implemented the Party's directives and resolutions, the State's policies and laws, firmly maintained principles, closely followed reality, resolutely led and directed the entire army to promote the results of the previous year, effectively implemented strategic breakthroughs, and comprehensively completed the tasks set out at the beginning of the year. Among them, many tasks were completed well and excellently.
One is,The Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense continued to grasp the situation, promptly advise the Party and the State on strategic issues related to military, national defense, and national defense; be flexible in handling situations, preventing the risk of conflict; maintain strategic initiative, avoid being passive or surprised. Actively and proactively implement the Resolution of the 13th Central Committee on the National Defense Strategy in the new situation effectively at all levels, sectors, and localities.
Second,continue to promote the core role in building the all-people national defense, the all-people national defense posture associated with the people's security posture and the increasingly solid "people's hearts posture".
Closely coordinate with central and local departments, ministries and branches to complete the appraisal of the planning of the 6 socio-economic regions of the country, contributing to promoting, linking and coordinating the regions; effectively implement the policy of combining national defense with socio-economic development, combining socio-economic development with national defense.
Preside over and coordinate with central ministries, branches and Dien Bien province to direct the organization of activities and parades to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Dien Bien Phu Victory commensurate with the magnitude of the historical event, leaving a good impression in the hearts of the people and international friends; arouse patriotism, the strength of the great national unity bloc, encourage all classes of people to promote the spirit of determination to fight and win, overcome difficulties and challenges, continue to strive, and create new miracles in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland.
Actively coordinate closely with the People's Public Security and other forces to maintain political security, order, social safety, protect the safety of important events of the Party and State, maintain a peaceful and stable environment for national development. Always take the lead in participating in preventing, combating, overcoming the consequences of natural disasters, searching, rescuing and saving people's lives and property (this is a solid foundation to consolidate and maintain the relationship of solidarity between the army and the people, I propose that the Central Military Commission continue to lead the entire army to promote it even better in the coming time).
Third,The entire army continues to strictly maintain discipline and combat readiness, closely manage borders, inland, airspace, sea, islands and cyberspace. Direct and conduct well joint military and service exercises, cyberspace combat exercises in strategic directions on a large scale, in accordance with new types of operations and fighting methods, and Vietnamese military art.
In directing and adjusting the organization of the force, always attach importance to maintaining political and ideological stability, thereby enhancing the strength and ability to complete the unit's tasks; ensuring high solidarity and unity of Party committees and commanders at all levels, paying attention to implementing policies well for the contingent of cadres and soldiers. Completing the set of criteria for building a regular, elite, and modern People's Army in the new situation.
Four is,The work of defense industry, finance, logistics, engineering, defense diplomacy and other aspects of work has been led and directed by the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense to be implemented synchronously and achieved many very encouraging results, especially in the defense industry, which continues to have new breakthroughs; international integration and defense diplomacy activities have achieved many positive results, especially: The 8th Vietnam-China border defense friendship exchange was very successfully organized.
Five is,The work of building a strong Army Party organization in terms of politics, ideology, ethics, organization and cadres has been given special attention; maintaining and strengthening the absolute and direct leadership of the Party in all aspects over the Army. The summary of the implementation of the Law on Officers of the Vietnam People's Army has been completed; political and ideological activities have been widely organized and implemented, and "self-examination and self-correction" has been regularly conducted at all levels, contributing to preventing all manifestations of degradation in ideology, politics, ethics, lifestyle, "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the Party. The work of protecting the Party's ideological foundation and fighting against erroneous and hostile viewpoints in the new situation has continued to be promoted, contributing to firmly consolidating the Party's ideological position.
There are many effective policies, solutions and methods to continue promoting the study and following of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle; promoting the qualities of "Uncle Ho's soldiers", resolutely fighting against individualism in the new situation.
With outstanding results in 3 years of implementing Conclusion No. 01 of the Politburo and 2 years of implementing Resolution No. 847 of the Central Military Commission, it can be affirmed that the quality of "Uncle Ho's Soldiers" continues to shine; in any circumstances, officers and soldiers in the entire army are always steadfast, steadfast, united, unified, overcoming difficulties, and successfully completing all assigned tasks.
Always actively participate in building a strong local political base, helping people eliminate hunger, reduce poverty, build new rural areas, do a good job in the military rear area, visit and give gifts to families with meritorious services, build houses of gratitude, take care of Vietnamese Heroic Mothers...
The results achieved in the first 6 months of 2024 have many causes, in which the regular and comprehensive leadership and direction of the Party and State and the close and effective coordination of central and local ministries, branches and departments are very important.
But most importantly, the Central Military Commission and Party committees and commanders at all levels in the entire army have firmly maintained principles, solidarity, unity, "one mind from top to bottom", "consistent throughout"; made many innovations in working methods and styles, implemented the spirit of "7 dares" (dare to think, dare to speak, dare to do, dare to take responsibility, dare to innovate, dare to face difficulties and challenges, dare to act for the common good); selected the right key and key tasks, breakthroughs, focused on leadership and direction with synchronous, comprehensive, practical and effective solutions.
On behalf of the Party and State leaders, I warmly commend the outstanding achievements that the Central Military Commission, the Ministry of National Defense, and officers and soldiers of the entire army have achieved in the first 6 months of 2024. However, in addition to the achievements, there are still some limitations and shortcomings in the first 6 months of the year as assessed in the reports. I request that the Central Military Commission focus on leadership, direction, and early overcoming in the last 6 months of the year; not allowing limitations and shortcomings to persist or repeat."
In the last 6 months of 2024, the world and regional situation is forecasted to continue to have new, rapid, complex and unpredictable developments. This is also an important time for us to focus on basically completing the targets and objectives set out in the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress. At the same time, we will prepare for the Party Congresses at all levels for the 2025-2030 term, leading up to the 14th National Party Congress.
Therefore, our entire Party, people and army need to continue to strive to successfully carry out the goals and tasks set out in 2024. In order for the entire army to successfully carry out its tasks in the last 6 months of 2024, the Central Military Commission needs to focus on leading and directing the good implementation of a number of contents. I would like to summarize them with the spirit of "5 determinations and 5 proactiveness" as follows:
