Addressing the 2020 Military-Political Conference in Hanoi, Mr. Trong, who is also Secretary of the Central Military Commission, asked the Defense Ministry to work closely with Government agencies and local authorities to mitigate natural disasters and protect people’s lives and property.
He emphasized the importance of streamlining the military so that Vietnam can start building a modern army by 2030.
“It’s crucial to improve military personnel’s political awareness and morality to ensure the military is a political and combat force absolutely loyal to the Party and a reliable and solid mainstay of the Party, State, and people. We need to continue fighting against distortions and hostile arguments,” said Mr. Trong.
