The session took place on the occasion of the 73rd founding anniversary of Vietnam People’s Army and the 28th anniversary of All People’s Defence Festival Day (December 22).
The NA leader lauded the Hanoi Capital High Command for contributing to the common achievements of the Vietnam People’s Army, including ensuring the absolute safety of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders’ Week this year.
She asked them to continue to fully grasp the Party policies and State laws on national defence-security, especially the Resolution on national defence-security tasks adopted by the 12th National Party Congress, the Politburo (10th tenure)’s Resolution on continuing to build centrally-run cities and provinces into strong defensive areas in the new situation, and the Resolution on the national protection strategy in the new situation by the eighth plenum of the 11th Party Central Committee.
The Hanoi Capital High Command must improve their capacity as an advisory body on building all people’s national defence, strengthen national defence-security and join in socio-economic development, she said.
She suggested further training of officials and cadres in political thoughts and Party guidelines, whilst staying alert to every event, and working closely with security forces to maintain political stability and social safety and order.
The senior legislator requested that the Hanoi Capital High Command regularly pays attention to Party building, effectively implements the Resolution on Party building and rectification by the fourth plenum of the 12th Party Central Committee, in addition to driving back degradation in political thoughts, moral virtues and lifestyle, and “self-evolution” and “self-transformation” behaviours, in combination with spreading the campaign “Studying and following Ho Chi Minh’s thoughts, morals and lifestyle”.
She expressed her belief that under the leadership of the Party, the Central Military Commission and the municipal Party Committee, the city’s armed forces would build themselves into a trustworthy political unit and fighting force loyal to the Party, deserving the trust of the Party, authorities and people of the capital city and nationwide.
Commander of the Hanoi Capital High Command Nguyen Doan Anh reported that this year the unit deployed 17,613 people and 1,176 vehicles to deal with 433 forest fires and disaster cases, fight dengue fever outbreaks and defuse bombs, mines and explosives left over from the war.
