This afternoon (September 24), the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense held the 11th National Emulation Congress for Victory for the Whole Army. General Secretary To Lam, Secretary of the Central Military Commission, attended and delivered a speech at the Congress.

On behalf of the Party, State and Central Military Commission leaders, General Secretary To Lam commended the outstanding achievements in the Emulation Movement for Victory.

Congratulating 54 national heroes and emulation fighters, 304 advanced models and hundreds of thousands of collectives, cadres and soldiers honored and rewarded in the emulation movement to win over the past 5 years, the General Secretary emphasized that today's advanced models are living proof of the strength of tradition, discipline, creativity and the close military-civilian relationship.

"The "Determined to Win" emulation is valuable because of its continuity and depth, not a temporary "launch" but the "beat of life". Each day has a criterion, each week has a practical task, each month has an initiative, each quarter has a sustainable result. The starting point is the soldier; the nucleus is the team, squad; the driving force is the platoon, company; the decision is the Party Committee, the commander at all levels. Emulation here is not "chasing achievements", but "daily food and drink" in a special military environment: it must be accurate, follow the process, safe, effective and suitable for modern combat situations. In the military environment, emulation is a school of "personality and courage". Each completed target not only adds a "score" but also adds a level of maturity. Each soldier must know how to put the task first, know self-discipline, know how to respect the process, know how to cooperate in combat, know how to handle situations, know how to love teammates and love the people. To do so, the criteria "Emulation must be "clear - correct - accurate - easy to remember - easy to do - easy to compare". Organization must be seamless from the grassroots up; evaluation must be fair and public; rewards must be timely, to the right person, for the right job; criticism must be sincere, constructive, helping each other to progress," the General Secretary stated.

General Secretary To Lam emphasized that the tradition of our Army that victory is the standard of action has become the standard of action. Every officer and soldier must carry in their blood the spirit of "Determination to die for the Fatherland" in studying, training, practicing, combat, being ready to fight, working, helping the people, international cooperation and international obligations.

"Emulation is only meaningful when it is "real - good - beautiful - useful". I suggest that the entire army continue to rectify formalities; absolutely avoid chasing superficial targets; prioritize quality, efficiency, and depth. Emulation must make people better, units stronger, work smoother, and military-civilian relations stronger. Unity is the source of strength. Emulation must contribute to "tightening the ranks", spreading positivity, encouraging young talents, creating space for initiatives of soldiers, military women, and defense workers. Each Party Committee and commander must be a "conductor" who knows how to choose the right "music", choose the right "rhythm" of progress, and coordinate the "orchestra" of the forces smoothly. I suggest that Party Committees and commanders take care to replicate typical examples: have a mechanism for timely recognition and worthy rewards; incorporate good models into training and work programs so that everyone can progress together", General Secretary To Lam requested.

General Secretary To Lam believes that the entire army's Emulation Movement for Victory will continue to develop strongly, substantially and effectively; creating new breakthroughs in building a revolutionary, disciplined, elite and modern army; contributing worthily to the cause of building and firmly defending the socialist Vietnamese Fatherland.

On this occasion, General Secretary To Lam presented the Ministry of National Defense with a banner with 16 golden words: "Loyalty and steadfastness - Solidarity and discipline - Breakthrough development - Determination to fight and win".
