General Secretary To Lam requested that the General Political Department of the Vietnam People's Army, the political agencies, and the entire army's political cadres continue to uphold the fine traditions of the nation, the heroic Vietnam People's Army, and the glorious traditions of the General Political Department in the coming period. He urged them to strengthen unity and cohesion, proactively implement Resolution No. 8 of the 13th Central Committee on "The Strategy for National Defense in the New Situation," the Vietnamese national defense strategy, the Vietnamese military strategy, the strategy for national defense in cyberspace, and the strategy for protecting national borders. He also urged them to proactively advise the Politburo, the Secretariat, and directly the Central Military Commission on the concrete implementation of resolutions, directives, conclusions, and regulations of the Party, and policies and laws of the State on military and national defense and national defense.

Thorough preparation for the successful organization of the Party Congresses at all levels for the 2025-2030 term is a key political task that not only contributes significantly to the success of the 14th National Party Congress but also serves as an opportunity to consolidate and enhance leadership capacity and improve the combat strength of Party committees and organizations at all levels to meet the requirements and tasks of building the Army and defending the Fatherland in the new situation. The Party Committee of the Army must set an example in implementing the Party's policies on Party building and rectification and the political system, on promoting the study and emulation of Ho Chi Minh's thought, morality, and style, and on continuing to innovate and streamline the political system's organizational structure to be efficient and effective.
