General Đoàn Khuê (alias Võ Tiến Trình) was born on October 29, 1923, in Gia Đẳng village, Triệu Tân commune (now Triệu Lăng commune), Triệu Phong district, Quảng Trị province. Born and raised in a homeland rich in patriotic traditions and revolutionary struggle, General Đoàn Khuê was enlightened early and joined revolutionary activities in 1939 at the age of 16. Throughout 60 years of revolutionary activity, General Đoàn Khuê held many positions in various fields. Regardless of his position, responsibilities, or circumstances, the General always maintained the qualities of a revolutionary soldier, wholeheartedly serving the Fatherland and the People; demonstrating strategic thinking, decisiveness, and creativity in leadership and command, successfully completing all tasks entrusted to him by the Party, the State, and the People.
In particular, in his capacity as a member of the Politburo, a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Party Committee, Chief of the General Staff of the Vietnam People's Army, Deputy Secretary of the Central Military Party Committee, and Minister of National Defense, with his rich practical experience and profound strategic vision, the General proposed and advised the Party, State, and National Assembly on many sound policies regarding military and national defense tasks.
One of General Doan Khue's outstanding contributions was his proposals and contributions to assessing the global and regional situation, as well as the revolutionary landscape within the country. He adjusted the deployment of forces and defenses in various directions, areas, seas, islands, borders, mainland, and political, economic, and cultural centers, ensuring defensive capabilities in all situations. The General proposed leadership and guidance in implementing the principle of integrating economics with national defense, establishing defense zones in provinces and cities; and successfully implemented the strategic adjustment shifting from preparing for large-scale wars of aggression to responding to armed conflicts. This contributed to maintaining political security and creating a peaceful and stable environment for the reform process. The General's proposals have been tested and proven in practice and serve as valuable lessons in the cause of building and defending the socialist Fatherland today.
At the seminar, Quang Tri Provincial Party Secretary Le Quang Tung emphasized: Regardless of his position or responsibilities, wherever he was, General Doan Khue always looked towards his homeland of Quang Tri, always considering it the source and foundation of his life's work. Whenever he had the opportunity to visit his hometown, he dedicated precious time to going to remote and disadvantaged areas to understand and listen to the opinions and aspirations of the people, encouraging them to overcome difficulties and build a new life. The General gave many heartfelt instructions and guidance to the Party Committee, government, and people of the province on socio-economic development, ensuring national defense and security, building the Party and the political system, so that Quang Tri could gradually develop and progress.
