This direction was emphasized by General Secretary To Lam when speaking at the 11th National Emulation Congress for Victory organized by the Ministry of National Defense on the afternoon of September 24.
Competition is the school of "personality and courage"
According to the General Secretary , in every revolutionary stage, emulation to win is always the catalyst that turns determination into results and turns goals into reality.
Competition also helps the unit have a common goal and each person has specific work to do thoroughly, turning discipline into strength and initiative into a resource.

The General Secretary believes that emulation to win is valuable because of its continuity and depth, not a temporary campaign but the "beat of life".
"Competition here is not about chasing achievements, but about daily food and drink in a special military environment: it must be precise, follow procedures, safe, effective and suitable for modern combat situations," the General Secretary emphasized.
Party leaders believe that in the military environment, competition is a school of “personality and courage”. Each completed target not only adds a “point” but also adds a level of maturity.
Therefore, each soldier must know how to put duty first, know self-discipline, know how to respect procedures, know how to cooperate in combat, know how to handle situations, love teammates and love people.
The General Secretary requires that each emulation criterion must be "clear - correct - accurate - easy to remember - easy to do - easy to compare", the 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.

According to the General Secretary, the process of building and defending the Fatherland in the new situation requires our army to be both disciplined, elite, modern, and mobile, flexible, and digitally intelligent. In that context, emulation to win must become the operating system for three roles: the fighting army, the working army, and the production labor army.
"Competition 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. Instead, we must prioritize quality, efficiency and depth," the General Secretary emphasized.
The General Secretary emphasized that emulation must make people better, units stronger, work smoother, and military-civilian relations stronger.
Emulation becomes a "revolutionary action movement" of soldiers
Speaking at the Congress, General Phan Van Giang, Minister of National Defense, shared that the birth, development, growth, fighting and victory of the Vietnam People's Army are always associated with the patriotic emulation movement.
In the current context, General Phan Van Giang said that the country is facing many difficulties, challenges, and existing risks of epidemics and natural disasters; hostile forces are focusing on sabotage with many sophisticated plots and tricks.
Therefore, the emulation movement to win has always been closely and comprehensively led and directed by the Ministry of National Defense and Party committees and commanders at all levels in the entire army, becoming a revolutionary action movement of cadres and soldiers of the entire army and militia and self-defense forces nationwide.

The Minister of National Defense emphasized that the 11th National Army Emulation Congress is taking place at a time of great significance. The entire army, with the highest spirit, is actively preparing to organize the 12th Army Party Congress, competing to achieve the highest results to welcome the 14th National Party Congress.
"This event marks a new development step of the patriotic emulation movement in the People's Army and Militia and Self-Defense Force, continuing to implement President Ho Chi Minh's teaching: "Emulation is patriotism, patriotism requires emulation", General Phan Van Giang shared.
Summarizing the emulation movement "Determination to Win" for the period 2020-2025, the Minister of National Defense signed a decision to award emulation flags to 84 collectives; and certificates of merit to 151 collectives and 158 individuals.
