Building a exemplary and typical Army Party Committee equal to the tasks

From the initial victory of Phai Khat, Na Ngan to the brilliant success of the August 1945 General Uprising, the remarkable maturity of our Army all stemmed from the absolute and direct leadership in all aspects of the Party, the education and training of President Ho Chi Minh and the love, care and help of the people. The Party has promptly determined the correct direction, goals, and combat methods and clearly affirmed the viewpoint: Our Army is the army of the people, by the people, for the people under the leadership of the Party; political tasks determine military tasks.

In the resistance wars against French colonialism and American imperialism, as well as in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland and the cause of national renewal, the leadership of the Party has always been the decisive factor in every feat and every victory of the Army. It is by steadfastly and strictly implementing that principle that the Vietnam People's Army has continuously matured and grown together with the entire people to defeat the invaders, creating glorious feats and great victories in the glorious history of the nation.

In recent years, especially in the 2020-2025 term, the world and regional situation has changed rapidly, complicatedly and unpredictably; our country has faced many difficulties and challenges, especially the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, natural disasters, climate change, along with increasingly high requirements for the cause of building and defending the Fatherland, the absolute and direct leadership of the Party in all aspects over the Army continues to be strengthened. The entire army has promoted the spirit of solidarity, proactiveness, creativity, overcoming all difficulties and challenges, completing all tasks comprehensively; many tasks have been completed well and excellently, thereby clearly affirming the decisive leadership role of the Party in the maturity and achievements of the Army. In which, some important highlights stand out:

The Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense have performed well the function of strategic consulting with the Party and State on military and defense. Proactively forecast the situation correctly, promptly advise and effectively handle defense situations, avoid being passive or surprised in any situation, maintain independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity; maintain a peaceful and stable environment for national development. Many resolutions, strategies, projects and plans have been elaborately, methodically, and practically developed to meet the requirements of modernizing the Army and firmly defending the Fatherland in the new situation. The Army Party Committee has directed the entire army to closely coordinate with the forces to build a national defense posture associated with the people's security posture, an increasingly solid "people's heart posture". The defense posture of military zones and defense areas of provinces and cities continues to be consolidated and perfected; the country's defense potential is enhanced; the combined strength of the entire nation in the cause of defending the Fatherland is constantly enhanced.

Along with that, the entire army has been led and directed to basically complete the organization and staffing arrangement in the direction of "streamlining, compactness, and strength", being mobile, flexible, ensuring compliance with the national defense, military and art of combat strategy in new conditions. Many agencies and units have been consolidated, arranged, and improved their effectiveness and efficiency of operations, meeting the requirements of building the Army in the new situation. Units in the entire army proactively ensure adequate and timely logistics and technical work for tasks, promptly and effectively respond to non-traditional security challenges.

Political and ideological education work has been given special importance to Party committees and Party organizations in the entire army, strictly implemented in depth, and achieved practical results; pioneering in preventing and combating the " peaceful development" plots of hostile forces, reactionary forces, and fighting against the manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation". The promotion of studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style; the campaign to promote tradition, contribute talent, and be worthy of the title "Uncle Ho's soldiers" in the new era and the Victory Emulation Movement were widely implemented, creating a clear change in the awareness and actions of cadres, party members, and soldiers of the entire army. The work of planning, training, fostering, using and rotating cadres has been carried out synchronously and methodically, ensuring democracy and objectivity in accordance with procedures and principles. Strengthen inspection and supervision of compliance with principles, charter, directives and resolutions; proactively detect, prevent and strictly handle violations, contributing to maintaining the Party's discipline and order. Implement well the work of preventing and combating corruption, negativity and waste, contributing to building a clean and healthy environment.

The defense industry has made a breakthrough, mastering a number of underlying technologies, core technologies, successfully researching, manufacturing, and testing many weapons of strategic significance and modern technical equipment, suitable for the subjects of combat and the reality of war; promoting the development of an autonomous, self-reliant, self-reliant, dual-use, and modern defense industry. The army proactively and actively participates in United Nations peacekeeping activities; successfully organizes many exchange activities, defense exhibitions, joint drills, rescue and relief, contributing to enhancing the position and prestige of the country and the Army in the international arena.

The results achieved not only demonstrate the intelligence, bravery, will and high political determination of the Army Party Committee and the entire army, but also contribute to consolidating and enhancing the position of the Vietnam People's Army; continue to affirm the especially important role of the Army in the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation, for the goal of building a strong, prosperous and happy Vietnam.

In the coming years, the world and regional situation will continue to change rapidly and complicatedly, strategic competition between major countries will become increasingly fierce, armed conflicts will occur in many places, with many types of war, new methods of combat, traditional and non-traditional security challenges intertwined with international life and potential unstable factors. Our country, after 40 years of renovation, has achieved many great achievements, with historical significance, has grown well in economy, people's lives have been constantly improved, socio-politics have been stable, national defense and security have been firmly consolidated, and international position and prestige have been increasingly enhanced. The implementation of the revolution of streamlining the apparatus and the two-level local government model has initially achieved many important results, requiring continued adjustment of the local military organization to suit the new situation. However, besides opportunities and advantages, we still face many difficulties and challenges, especially in economic development, enhancing the potential of science and technology; hostile forces continue to promote plots of " peaceful development", promote the "deopolitification" of the army, stimulate "self-evolution", "self-transformation", take advantage of cyberspace to sabotage the Party, State and Army.

From the above characteristics, in the coming time, thoroughly implementing the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress and the Resolution of the 12th Army Party Congress, the Army Party Committee and the entire army will continue to steadfastly adhere to the principle of the Party's absolute and direct leadership in all aspects towards the Army, build a clean, exemplary and exemplary Army Party Committee; continue to perform well the function of strategic advisory on military and defense, perfect the Party's leadership mechanism in the Army, excellently complete all tasks, and firmly protect the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. In particular, the Army Party Committee and the entire army focus on implementing well the following main contents:

First, continue to thoroughly grasp and firmly grasp the Party's military and defense guidelines, promote collective intelligence, bravery and strategic vision to effectively perform the function of strategic consulting on military and defense.

To thoroughly grasp and firmly grasp the Party's military and defense guidelines is a requirement of principle, and at the same time a prerequisite for the Vietnam People's Army to maintain the revolutionary nature, promoting its core role in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland in the new situation. In the face of rapid, complex and unpredictable changes in the world and regional situation; the interweaving of cooperation and struggle, peace and conflict; the strong development of military science and technology and new forms of war, maintaining strategic orientation, not wavering in goals, not deviating from thinking standards is especially important. The Party Committee of the Army and the entire army must continue to fully and comprehensively grasp the Party's viewpoints and policies on military and defense; creatively apply Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's ideology; closely link military and defense tasks with the task of socio-economic development and foreign affairs; resolutely protect independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, and maintain a peaceful and stable environment for national development.

The Party Committee of the Army and the entire army need to promote the high level of collective intelligence, political courage and strategic vision to increasingly better perform the function of advising the Party and State on military and defense. Advisors must be one step ahead, make accurate forecasts, evaluate accurately, and promptly propose strategic decisions, not to be passive or surprised in any situation. Implement well the guiding ideology of General Secretary To Lam on implementing "2 steadfastness, 2 acceleration, 2 prevention" and the motto "3 strong". Pay attention to summarizing practices, developing military and defense theories; proactively studying new issues arising from the practice of protecting the Fatherland in peacetime, from the requirement to build a modern People's Army and a strong and modern national defense. At the same time, continue to improve the institutional system, strategy, planning, and plan on military and defense; ensure high unity between strategic thinking and implementation organization; between long-term goals and immediate solutions; between building forces and using forces, thereby improving the quality and effectiveness of strategic consultation, meeting the requirements and tasks in the new era of national development.

Second, continue to research and perfect the Party's leadership mechanism in the Army, firmly adhering to the principle of the Party's absolute and direct leadership in all aspects of the People's Army.

Resolutely affirming the principle of the Party's absolute and direct leadership in all aspects for the Vietnam People's Army is an issue of vital significance, deciding the nature, goals, fighting ideals and the combined strength of the Army. The experience of more than 80 years of building, fighting and growing of our Army clearly affirms that maintaining and strictly implementing this principle ensures that the Army completes its assigned tasks excellently; on the contrary, any vagueness and laxity in the leadership role of the Party reduces the political and spiritual strength of the Army. In the current context, when hostile forces promote the plot to "deopolitize" the army with increasingly sophisticated and sophisticated tricks, the requirement to maintain the principle of the Party leading the Army absolutely and directly in all aspects must be put first, not only in terms of awareness but also in organization.

Along with steadfastness in principles, the Party Committee of the Army and the entire army need to continue researching and perfecting the Party's leadership mechanism in the Army to suit the requirements of new tasks and the organizational and staffing model of the modern Army. The focus is to further clarify the relationship between the leadership of the Party and the management of the State and the command and management of commanders at all levels; ensure comprehensive, focused, unified and consistent leadership while promoting the initiative and creativity of each organization and individual. Continue to innovate the leadership methods of the Central Military Commission and Party committees at all levels in a scientific, strict, effective, and highly predictable direction. attach importance to developing and perfecting regulations and rules on Party work and political work; ensure that all activities of the Army are under the absolute and direct leadership of the Party, contributing to improving the leadership capacity and fighting strength of the Army Party Committee and Party committees and organizations at all levels in the entire Army.

Third, focus on building a Party Committee of the Army that is strong in politics and ideology, steadfast in the face of all difficulties and challenges, truly being the core force in building a national defense and fighting to protect the Party's ideological foundation.

Building a strong military and ideological Party Committee is a basic, long-term task, which has decisive significance for the revolutionary nature and fighting strength of the army. In the context of hostile forces increasing their sabotage by using the methods of ideological warfare and information warfare, the requirement is that the Army Party Committee must maintain its role as ideological guiding, uniting will and action in the entire army. The focus is on making Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh's ideology, the goal of national independence and socialism, and the Party's innovation guidelines a solid ideological foundation, influencing all leadership, command and organization activities to carry out tasks.

On that basis, the Army Party Committee needs to lead and direct the promotion of its core role in building a national defense associated with the people's security posture; proactively participate in the fight against erroneous and hostile viewpoints, firmly protect the Party's ideological foundation. The fight must be conducted in an organized manner, with forces, and appropriate methods, closely linked to the practical military and defense tasks. Thereby, affirming the pioneering role of the Army on the ideological and decisive front, firmly consolidating the "people's heart position", creating a solid political and spiritual foundation for the cause of building and defending the Fatherland.

Fourth, regularly take care of building a clean, strong and exemplary Party organization at all levels, with high prestige and leadership capacity, strong fighting spirit, equal to the tasks.

Building a clean and strong Party organization at all levels is a direct and regular requirement in the work of building the Army Party Committee, to ensure the core role of comprehensive leadership in each agency and unit. Faced with increasingly high task requirements, increasingly large organization and force scale, and increasingly deep modernization level, if the party organization is not really strong, it will be difficult for the unit's leaders to complete the task well. Therefore, the Party Committee of the Army and the entire army need to continue to focus on consolidating and perfecting the Party organization at all levels in accordance with the new organizational and staffing model; improve the quality of Party committee and Party cell activities; strictly implement the principles of organization and operation of the Party, especially the principle of democratic centralism, self-criticism and criticism.

In addition, focus on enhancing the prestige, leadership capacity and fighting strength of the Party organization through linking Party building work with the implementation of political tasks. The most important measure of a strong party organization is the results of completing the unit's tasks and the maturity of the officers and soldiers. Therefore, it is necessary to resolutely overcome the situation of Forms and achievements; build a close relationship between the Party Committee and the commander and mass organizations; promote democracy, create high consensus in the unit. Thereby, building a truly clean, strong and exemplary party organization system in the entire army, with the capacity to lead the unit to excellently complete all tasks in the new period.

Fifth, focus on building a team of cadres and party members with qualities, capacity, and prestige; effectively carry out internal political protection work, contributing to building a revolutionary, disciplined, elite, and modern army.

Cadres are the root of all work; building a team of cadres and party members with qualities, capacity, and prestige is a key step in building the Army Party Committee. In response to the requirement to build a modern Army, the task is to build a team of cadres with strategic thinking, high synthesis skills, military science and technology knowledge, and the ability to organize command and management in new conditions. Party committees and organizations in the Army need to carry out well the work of planning, training, fostering and using cadres in a synchronous, interconnected, inheriting and developing direction, attracting and promoting talents, focusing on discovering, creating resources, and paying attention to young cadres and talented cadres; especially paying attention to building a team of presiding cadres, campaign and strategic cadres with courage, intelligence, qualities, capacity, and prestige to complete their tasks well.

Along with building a team of cadres and party members, it is necessary to strictly implement internal political protection work, ensuring purity and unity in the Army Party Committee. The focus is to proactively prevent, detect and promptly handle complex issues arising related to cadres and party members; maintain discipline and order, ensure internal political stability of the Army. Thereby, creating a solid personnel foundation to build a revolutionary, disciplined, elite, and modern Vietnam People's Army, meeting the requirements of tasks in the new situation.

Sixth, continue to strongly innovate content and methods, improve the effectiveness and efficiency of inspection, supervision and enforcement of Party discipline in the Army.

The army is a strict organization, strict discipline, the requirements for inspection, supervision and enforcement of Party discipline must be higher, stricter and more effective. The Party Committee of the Army and the entire army attach importance to innovating the content and methods of inspection and supervision, focusing right from the implementation to prevent; promoting the role of Party committees and organizations at all levels in self-inspection and timely supervision to rectify and overcome violations since they have arisen, not allowing small violations to accumulate into large violations. Resolutely handle disciplinary violations to ensure democracy, fairness and strictness; improve the quality of staff working in inspection and supervision; carry out digital transformation, make breakthroughs in science and technology development, and innovation.

The tradition of more than 80 years of building, fighting and growing of the Vietnam People's Army has left lessons about the absolute and direct leadership of the Party in all aspects; about the strength of military-civilian solidarity; about the spirit of independence, self-reliance, daring to fight, knowing how to fight and knowing how to win. thoroughly grasping and implementing the Party's resolutions, the Army Party Committee continues to strive to be a clean, strong, exemplary and exemplary Party Committee; lead the construction of a revolutionary, disciplined, elite, modern People's Army, ready to receive and excellently complete all tasks assigned by the Party, State and people, making worthy contributions to the cause of building and firmly defending the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the era of national development.
