The Party leader affirmed the key role of young people in the military, who stay absolutely loyal to the Party, the Fatherland and the people in any circumstances. 

He urged young army officers to actively study and train themselves, in order to be the core and front-line force in protecting the Party’s ideological foundation and fulfilling the army’s tasks. 

Attention must be paid to mass mobilisation to foster the close bonds between the army and people, he said, adding that priority should also be given to the cooperation with neighbouring countries, big powers, ASEAN member states and traditional friends. 

The Party chief expressed his belief that young people in the military will continue building on the tradition of the Vietnam People’s Army, thus deserving trust and expectation of the Party, State, and people nationwide.
