Binh Duong (VNA)🐭 - Party General Secretary To Lam, who is also Secretary of the Central Military Commission, had a working session with the Military Command of the southern province of Binh Duong on January 5.
After listening to a report on the command's performance in 2024, especially in reinforcing the all-people's defence, enhancing combat capacity, promoting production and acting as a firm support for the provincial Party Committee, authorities, and people, General Secretary Lam hailed the achievements that the command in particular and Binh Duong in general gained in the past year.
Holding that region and the world are likely to see complicated and unpredictable developments that will bring both opportunities and challenges, the Party chief highlighted the importance of overcoming difficulties while seizing opportunities to further the cause of national construction and defence in an era of growth and prosperity.
He urged Binh Duong to embrace science and technology, advance digital transformation, and foster a green, sustainable economy. He emphasised the need for a stronger digital government, digital economy, and digital society to maintain socio-economic progress alongside robust national defence and security.
Lam asked the provincial armed forces to continue strictly and effectively implement the Party's resolutions, especially those on the strategy for safeguarding the Fatherland in the new context, building the all-people's defence, people-based defence posture in association with the people-based security, and continuing the military's heroic tradition of braveness, creativity and solidarity.
The command was requested to strengthen training to enhance its combat readiness and coordination with other forces in the province and other surrounding localities, creating a favorable condition for socio-economic development and improvement of people's living conditions. In the immediate future, it is necessary to ensure security and order for the Lunar New Year (Tet), he asked.
The Party leader noted the command to keep a close contact with locals, supporting them in economic development, while paying greater attention to political and ideological education for officers and soldiers.
On this occasion, General Secretary Lam presented gifts to officers, soldiers and staff at the Binh Duong Military Command. Minister of National Defence General Phan Van Giang and Minister of Public Security General Luong Tam Quang also presented gifts to the armed forces of Binh Duong.

State President Luong Cuong attended a national political-military conference in Hanoi on December 26, during which he underlined the need for the entire army to continue sticking to the all-people defence and people’s war strategy to protect the Fatherland in the new context, following the principle that the people are the root.
The Vietnam People's Army (VPA) has always been at the forefront of innovation, creativity and sci-tech, with the Military Technical Academy (MTA) being a key example of this progress, said Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.
The Central Military Commission held its 12th conference for the 2020-2025 tenure in Hanoi on December 16 to review its 2024 military and defence tasks and chart a course for 2025.
Stronger efforts and determination are required to achieve and surpass the set targets, especially in the eradication of makeshift and dilapidated houses nationwide, the acceleration of public investment disbursement, and the implementation of nationally important transport projects, PM Pham Minh Chinh noted.
The trip will be made at the invitations of Chinese Premier Li Qiang and WEF President and CEO Børge Brende, according to an announcement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Long spoke highly of the dynamic, positive, and comprehensive development of Vietnam – Russia relations in recent years. He affirmed that the Vietnamese Party and State place great importance on further strengthening the comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia in a substantive and effective manner, in line with the development needs of both nations.
At the conference, participants reported that the Government has so far issued 28 decrees on the delegation of responsibilities and powers between the central Government and two-tier local administrations. Several localities have already piloted the new governance model.
Reality is the ultimate benchmark for success, he said, urging drafting agencies to work out policies that foster development, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and respect practical conditions.
Under the official dispatch signed on June 20, ministers, heads of ministerial-level agencies, and chairpersons of provincial and municipal People’s Committees are requested to concentrate efforts on implementing core measures to ensure the smooth operations of the new administrative framework.
The Party chief underscored the need for the press to innovate relentlessly, evolve to keep pace with the country's development, transform into a truly professional, humanistic, and modern sector that serves the cause of the Party, the State, and the people on the path to national construction and development.
The UN Secretary-General praised Vietnam’s remarkable achievements in socio-economic development and international integration in recent years, noting that the country has emerged as a model in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promoting international peace and security, and engaging in key UN processes.
Nghia affirmed that this is a milestone of special significance, affirming and honouring the the Vietnamese revolutionary press’s glorious tradition of 100 years of serving the revolutionary cause of the Party, serving the Fatherland, and serving the people.
The Party and State of Vietnam always attach great importance to and give top priority to the development of Vietnam–China relations. Vietnam is ready to work with the Chinese Party and State to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and promote the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.
Under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and the CPV, President Cuong said, the press has been a steadfast force on the ideological and cultural front, rallying the masses to pursue national aspirations.
NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man stressed the need to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence and smart teaching equipment, innovate teaching and assessment methods, and further improve the quality of formal education.
He also pledged that the NA will promote its ongoing supervision, making sure that every promise must lead to results, and every commitment must bring about real changes.
Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.
