Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Tan Cuong speaks at the conference

Speaking at the conference, Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Tan Cuong requested the agencies and functional units of the Ministry of National Defense to evaluate, learn from experience, and overcome the limitations in the process of establishing the 12th Corps to effectively apply them to the establishment of the 34th Corps. In particular, focusing on perfecting Party organizations and mass organizations to ensure that all activities of the 34th Corps are not interrupted. The functional agencies must properly implement the procedures and regulations according to the decentralization of the mobilization, appointment, and rotation of cadres; ensure that the cadres, non-commissioned officers, and technical staff of the Corps after its establishment have sufficient quantity and quality. In particular, it is necessary to carry out policy work well, especially resolving the number of surplus cadres and cadres over the planning age according to regulations./.
