The General Secretary stated that in order to successfully implement the country's two 100-year goals and the Resolution of the 14th Party Congress, the country must have a peaceful and stable environment, and develop its economy and society rapidly and sustainably, the Army must be the main force carrying out the above tasks.

That situation poses new, higher demands on military and defense missions, requiring strategic decisions to adapt to the new situation.

The General Secretary requested that the Party Committee of the Army and the entire army need to thoroughly grasp and effectively implement the Party and State's viewpoints, guidelines, policies and strategies on military and national defense; especially the all-people national defense policy, people's war, and the "four no's" national defense policy with the nature of peace and self-defense.

The army needs to effectively implement the motto of relying on the people, the people are the root, the subject, the center of the cause of building and defending the Fatherland...

Immutable principles in building a new type of army

The General Secretary noted that it is necessary to steadfastly build a politically strong Army, contributing to maintaining and strengthening the Party's absolute and direct leadership in all aspects over the Army. This is an immutable principle in building a new, revolutionary army, born from the people, fighting for the people, and closely attached to the people.

The Central Military Commission, the Ministry of National Defense, and Party committees and commanders at all levels in the entire army need to pay special attention to building the political and spiritual factors for the troops. It is necessary to ensure that officers and soldiers always have a high fighting spirit; dare to face and overcome difficulties and challenges; dare to fight, be determined to fight, and know how to fight and win.

The General Secretary also requested to step up the building of a revolutionary, regular, elite, and modern People's Army. In particular, the "revolutionary, regular, elite" elements need to continue to be promoted and further developed in the new period.

According to the General Secretary, the “modern” element has made a breakthrough in the last term. Up to now, the foundation has been solid, the conditions have converged, so it is necessary to promote modern construction right in this term. Modernity must be compared with other countries in the world and the region, not just compared with ourselves in previous years.

To realize the goal of modernization along with promoting the building of modern human resources in the Army is a prerequisite factor, the General Secretary said that the fundamental and sustainable solution is to promote the breakthrough development of an autonomous, self-reliant, self-reliant, dual-use, and modern defense industry. He emphasized the promotion of international integration and defense diplomacy. The goal is to maintain a strategic balance in foreign relations in general, and in defense diplomacy in particular.

The General Secretary also noted the need to prevent the risks of war and conflict. This is an important, consistent and urgent requirement in the current period. This requires the Central Military Commission, the Ministry of National Defense and the entire army to regularly grasp, research and clearly assess the development trends of the situation, and promptly advise on strategic countermeasures to successfully handle military and defense situations.

According to the General Secretary, it is necessary to have policies to keep "warm inside, peaceful outside", "peaceful inside, quiet outside", associated with building a strong People's Army and national defense to maintain peace; prevent all plots to violate the independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the Fatherland; repel all risks of war and conflict; prevent all manifestations of degradation in political ideology, ethics, lifestyle, "self-evolution", "self-transformation" in the Party Committee of the Army and the entire army.

The Party and the State have great confidence in and at the same time set very high requirements for the Party Committee of the Army and the entire army in implementing this content. That is, we must prevent degradation right from the seed, right at the stage of manifestation, and absolutely not let it blossom and develop into degradation and, even more, "self-evolution" and "self-transformation".

General Secretary To Lam and leaders of the Party, State, Central Military Commission, and Ministry of National Defense attend the congress.

The General Secretary instructed the Party Committee of the Army to pay special attention to Party building work, linking the building of a clean, strong, exemplary Party Committee with the building of comprehensively strong, "exemplary, exemplary" agencies and units...

He wished that the Party Committee of the Army and the entire army must “converge in solidarity, converge in will, converge in talent, converge in strength”. The entire army must have high solidarity internally and unite the army and the people to create strength. The entire army has one will, the army and the people have one will to act resolutely and in the right direction.

According to the General Secretary, the entire army must increase the attraction, training and utilization of talents to effectively serve the cause of building the army and consolidating national defense. These are also important factors for the entire army to successfully perform the functions of a combat army, a working army, a production labor army, and excellently complete tasks in all situations.
