Stressing the region’s strategic position, Man asked the Party Committee to continue popularising resolutions, conclusions, and directives of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, while raising the efficiency of defence diplomacy.
It is a must to keep a close watch on the situation, and give timely forecasts and proposals to the Party, the State, the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defence, and coordinate with all-level Party Committees and local authorities in handling emerging issues, he said.
The forces should play a more active role in poverty reduction, new-style rural area building, socio-cultural development, natural disaster prevention and control, climate change response, and search and rescue operations, the leader continued.
He urged the region to team up with other relevant forces and local authorities in the crime combat, and work to foil plots by hostile forces.
