Military Region 5, in coordination with the Gia Lai People’s Committee, held a ceremony in the central province’s Tuy Phuoc Dong commune on January 10 to hand over 57 newly built houses, officially completing the construction of 100 new homes for local residents affected by recent storms and floods under the Prime Minister-initiated Quang Trung Campaign.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on October 16 called on officers and soldiers of Military Region 5 to uphold their glorious tradition, strengthen unity, and stay ready to safeguard the Fatherland in all circumstances.

Upholding the resolution of the Central Military Commission on “Training and exercises in the new situation”, Military Region 5 has, from the beginning of its term, implemented practical activities that help concretise the Party’s viewpoint on building an “elite, compact, strong” army, thereby meeting the requirements of national defence in the current period.
