Party chief attends 11th Whole-military 'Determined to win' Emulation Congress

Also sending congratulations were high-ranking leaders, including State President Luong Cuong, also Chairman of the Council of National Defence and Security, and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chinh, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man, and Permanent member of the Party Central Committee's Secretariat Tran Cam Tu.

The congress underscored the role of the People’s Army in fostering patriotism, self-reliance, and responsibility among officers and soldiers in fulfilling their mission of national defence.

In his opening remarks, General Phan Van Giang, Deputy Secretary of the Central Military Commission and Minister of National Defence affirmed that over the recent past, the “Determined to Win” emulation movement has become a widespread revolutionary action, encouraging organisations and individuals to overcome challenges to fulfil their entrusted missions, contributing to the national construction and defence.

He laid stress on the timing of the congress as the army is preparing for the 12th congress of its Party organisation towards the upcoming 14th National Party Congress.

This is an opportunity to review patriotic emulation across the military and militia, honour outstanding achievements and new role models, and set directions and solutions to strengthen the movement and reward system in the next five years, he underscored.

In his brief report, General Trinh Van Quyet, Secretary of the Party Central Committee, member of the Central Military Commission, and Chairman of the General Department of Politics under the Viet Nam People's Army, stressed that the movement has seen innovations and achieved notable results in strategic military advisory work. It has also helped with combat readiness, crime prevention, disaster relief, pandemic response, search and rescue efforts, Party building and international defence cooperation. He stressed that the emulation campaign has become a key driver for building a strong and modern army, completing entrusted missions.

For the 2025-2030, the emulation will focus on promoting role models and renewing leadership and organisation, which should be linked to major political milestones, including the 12th Congress of the Party Organisation of the Viet Nam People's Army, the 14th National Party Congress, and the elections of deputies to the 16th National Assembly and all-level People’s Councils for the 2026–2031 tenure.
