PM Pham Minh Chinh speaks at the national political-military conference in Hanoi on July 25, 2022.

The Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defence have monitored various situations and provided strategic consultancy for the Party and State regarding military and national defence in a timely manner, especially emerging and complicated issues, the PM continued.

The ministry, officers and soldiers have played a role in ensuring political-socio stability, creating a favourable environment to fulfill socio-economic tasks, raising people’s confidence in the Party and State, and improving the country’s position and reputation in the international arena, he said.

Among the key tasks, the defence ministry should focus on protecting national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, and maintaining political stability, he noted.

Another task is to build a pure, strong Party, improving the combatant capacity of Party organisations and members, while contributing to the fight against corruption and other negative phenomena, the PM noted.
