Delivering congratulatory remarks, General Phan Van Giang, Politburo member, Deputy Secretary of the Central Military Commission, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence, expressed his thanks to the Ministry of Public Security and Ministry of Foreign Affairs for their consistent coordination, support and close cooperation, which have helped the Viet Nam People’s Army successfully fulfill the tasks assigned by the Party, State and people.
He said that in recent years, the Ministry of National Defence, Ministry of Public Security and Ministry of Foreign Affairs have effectively carried out their respective functions and responsibilities, particularly the coordination mechanism for situation research and assessment and policy advice to the Party and State.
The ministries have also played a core role in implementing the Strategy for National Defence in the New Situation, the National Security Strategy, Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW of the 14th Party Central Committee on building a disciplined, safe, civilised, harmonious and developed society, as well as Politburo resolutions on international integration in the new situation and implementation of the foreign policy outlined at the 14th National Party Congress.
These efforts, Giang noted, have helped create a firm foundation for Viet Nam to enter a new era of national development.
