She hailed the VABDF for its achievements over the past six decades, especially its important contributions to education-training, national construction and defence, and international missions.

The VABDF has improved its quality and efficiency of admission, training, sci-tech and international cooperation with Laos, Cambodia and Russia while successfully conducting research on hundreds of valuable theoretical and practical topics, she said.

Acting President Xuan hoped that the VBADF should be at the forefront of research and forecasting, including scientific research to offer counselling to the Party, State and Army on the national protection strategy in the new situation.
