Arriving at the border commune of Hung Phuoc, Bu Dop district, Binh Phuoc province, we were surprised by the changes in rural life here. Spacious houses have sprung up in the residential area adjacent to the border militia post. The muddy dirt road has been paved smooth. Meeting the people, everyone expressed joy and excitement. While helping his wife prepare dinner and take care of more than 100 poultry, Mr. Pham Thanh Van, Head of the Hung Phuoc Border Militia Post, excitedly said: “The lives of the people here have changed. Three years ago, my family lived in a dilapidated house, living in poverty because there was no job or land for production. The house is 15km away from the militia post by forest road, making it difficult to travel, so I had little opportunity to take care of my family. In 2019, Military Region 7 coordinated with the locality to give us this house, we have land for production, and we can settle down. My wife was given the opportunity to work at Loc Ninh Rubber Company Limited with a salary of more than 7 million VND/month, so our family life is stable. This is the condition for my wife and I to feel secure in starting a business in the border area.”
Comrade Ho Tan Dac, Party Secretary and Chairman of the People's Committee of Hung Phuoc Commune, said: Previously, this area still had many deserted areas. The locality had repeatedly encouraged people to move to the border to live, but after a short time, they left again due to lack of infrastructure. Now, thanks to the project "Building residential areas adjacent to border militia posts", people are excited and volunteering to move to the border to settle down. The border has soldiers, now there are more people, creating the strength of military-civilian solidarity to build a strong and developed border area.
The above evidence is one of the typical models of implementing the coordination regulations between the Political Department of Military Region 7 and local party committees in recent years. In 2019, Military Region 7 implemented the project "Building residential areas adjacent to border militia posts". Facing many difficulties and challenges in terms of land fund, funding, policy mechanisms, etc., the Political Department of Military Region 7 proactively researched, surveyed, promoted mass mobilization work, coordinated to advise local Party committees to issue leadership resolutions, and at the same time promoted propaganda to create high consensus among Party committees, authorities and people of localities. The project has mobilized many social resources for implementation. Thanks to the solidarity of the army and people, up to now, Military Region 7 has coordinated with localities to build 51 residential areas with 397 houses on the border of Binh Phuoc, Tay Ninh, and Long An provinces, exceeding the project target of 17 residential areas with 227 houses.
Based on the situation, tasks and characteristics of the area, under the advice of the Political Department, the close leadership and direction of the Party Committee and the Military Region 7 Command, the agencies and units in the armed forces of the Military Region have all had creative models and methods to effectively implement the above policies. In some ethnic minority areas, religious areas, industrial zones and export processing zones, agencies and units have proactively overcome limitations and shortcomings in mass mobilization work. Implementing the policy of the Military Region 7 Party Committee on "Strengthening solidarity, friendliness and support for ethnic and religious people", the Political Department of Military Region 7 has coordinated to effectively advise on the construction of models of "Cultural works" and "Houses of military-civilian affection". From 2022 to present, agencies, units and localities have coordinated to build 57 cultural works at religious establishments and 425 comrade houses and military-civilian houses to give to ethnic minorities, religious people and policy beneficiaries, contributing practically to improving people's lives, eliminating "weak points" in mass mobilization work, and building a solid people's hearts.
The models of "Cadres and Party members guiding the masses and subordinates", "5 good Party cells, 5 good Party members", "5 proactiveness in ideological work"... have brought into play positive effects in the management and education of Party members, especially helping local Party committees manage Party members who are demobilized soldiers. In early 2023, Military Region 7 recruited 322 Party members to join the army, including 284 official Party members. In 2022, local military Party committees admitted 2,027 Party members, building 100% of commune-level military Party cells with solid Party Committees. These are the results of coordination models to improve the effectiveness of military-civilian solidarity.
Major General Hoang Dinh Chung, Chief of Political Affairs of Military Region 7, said: The agency always proactively coordinates to grasp, forecast, and correctly assess the situation, thereby focusing on implementing well the propaganda contents, implementing the Party's resolutions, emulation movements, campaigns, Party building, building new rural areas... Through practical operating models to constantly innovate, improve the effectiveness and efficiency of Party work, political work...
Comrade Nguyen Thanh Hai, Standing Deputy Secretary of Long An Provincial Party Committee also shared: In recent years, the implementation of the coordination regulations between local party committees and the Political Department of Military Region 7 and the coordination of leadership and direction between the Party Committee, the High Command of Military Region 7 and the Provincial Party Committee and People's Committee of Long An province have been increasingly deepened. From the implementation of the coordination regulations, Party committees at all levels have exchanged and applied many good models, promptly resolved difficulties and problems, created a solid national defense posture, and promoted socio-economic development.
