It is necessary to continue to complete mechanisms for the management of military businesses and defence economic groups, ensuring that they strictly follow legal regulations in economic, financial and State property management, he stressed.
In order to grow into a stronger engineering corps of the Vietnam People’s Army, the President asked the Army Corps 11 to reform its business governance and financial management, while strengthening the Party leadership and paying more attention to human resources development.
The corps should also invest more in upgrading its equipment and advanced technologies in designing and construction activities to ensure high quality of their works, thus further enhancing its trademark in the domestic and international markets.
