The above basic contents are important issues, of strategic significance, contributing to the development and completion of military guidelines and defense strategies, meeting the requirements of protecting the Fatherland both in the short term and in the long term.

The book continues to affirm the new development in the Party's thinking and awareness of the cause of defending the Fatherland "from early on, from afar" in the current context. It is the inheritance of the ideology and viewpoints of Resolution No. 28-NQ/TW of the 11th tenure on "Strategy for defending the Fatherland in the new situation"; Resolution No. 24-NQ/TW on "Vietnam's National Defense Strategy"; Conclusion No. 31-KL/TW on "Vietnam's Military Strategy", continuing to affirm the principle of the Party's absolute and direct leadership in all aspects of the armed forces, national defense, security, and protection of the Fatherland...

The book demonstrates the Party's close and comprehensive leadership over the Vietnam People's Army in response to the requirements and demands of the current situation and tasks. Building a revolutionary, disciplined, elite and modern Army in the new era is a major policy, demonstrating the vision and strategic thinking of the Party and State. As Secretary of the Central Military Commission, through the book, the General Secretary gave important instructions to "further strengthen the absolute and direct leadership of the Party in all aspects over the Army"; at the same time "continue to study, supplement and perfect the Party's leadership mechanism over the Army".

Lieutenant Colonel, Doctor Pham Cong Thuong emphasized that the content of the book reflects the consistent and consistent thinking of the General Secretary and Secretary of the Central Military Commission on viewpoints, guiding goals, directions and solutions for carrying out the task of protecting the Fatherland in the new situation. The consistent and consistent thinking on the military and defense fields is expressed in two basic aspects that have a dialectical relationship with each other. The issue of military and defense guidelines and strategies; building a new-style army. Military and defense guidelines and strategies are the overarching issues that determine the results of carrying out the task of protecting the Fatherland. Building forces, especially building a new-style army, is a fundamental and fundamental issue, a material strength to realize military and defense guidelines and strategies.

The guiding ideology of the military and defense policies in the Book is expressed in the following basic contents: Affirming the principle of the Party's absolute and direct leadership in all aspects of the Vietnam People's Army. Protecting the Fatherland "early and from afar", inheriting and promoting the tradition of "building the country and defending the country"; "defending the country when the country is not yet in danger" of the nation. Having plans to prevent and eliminate the risks of war and conflict, protecting and maintaining peace and stability of the country. Building a revolutionary, disciplined, elite and modern Vietnam People's Army in the new era, building elite, compact, strong and modern military forces, meeting the requirements of missions in all situations.

The guiding ideology of military and defense policies in the Book reflects the development of the Party's theoretical thinking on military policies and defense strategies, especially the leadership role and capacity to plan defense policies and guidelines to meet the requirements of the tasks in the new period of the Party and the Central Military Commission.

Building a politically strong army

The book's content includes 39 articles, speeches, interviews, and talks by the General Secretary on military guidelines, defense strategies, and directions for building the army to meet the requirements of tasks in the new context, which are very comprehensive and profound. These contents reflect the creative and strategic thinking of the head of the Party and the Central Military Commission on military and defense issues. These are very important orientations for all levels, sectors, and the entire army to study, thoroughly grasp, and realize in order to consolidate military and defense tasks in accordance with their functions and tasks, meeting the requirements of the task of building and defending the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the new period.

Lieutenant Colonel, Doctor Pham Cong Thuong said that the content of building a politically strong army mentioned by the General Secretary is the most meaningful and valuable issue. This content is dialectically consistent with the theory of Marxism-Leninism on building a new type of army of the proletariat, Ho Chi Minh's thought on building the Vietnam People's Army, and at the same time reflects the development of the Party's theoretical thinking on building the Vietnam People's Army in the new period. The contents of the book all reflect the General Secretary's orientation on the necessity, content, form, and measures to build a politically strong army very deeply. This is the orientation for the system of Party committees, Party organizations, command organizations, functional agencies, all cadres, Party members, and soldiers in the entire army to deeply perceive, heighten their responsibilities, proactively participate in contributing their efforts and intelligence to build politically strong agencies and units, contributing to building a politically strong Army, creating a premise for building a revolutionary, disciplined, elite, and modern Vietnam People's Army to meet the requirements of current revolutionary tasks.

The book is a document of profound theoretical and practical value, which can be considered a "handbook" for military branches, service branches, academies, and schools in building forces, consolidating positions, and performing educational and training tasks. Accordingly, military branches, service branches, and each force must proactively review, adjust, and perfect their organization and staffing; actively train, improve strength, qualifications, and combat capabilities; effectively manage, exploit, and use weapons and technical equipment appropriate to specific functions and tasks, contributing to building a strong, lean, and modern Army that meets requirements and tasks in all situations.

Lieutenant Colonel, Doctor Pham Cong Thuong said that military academies and schools need to innovate the content, programs, methods of education, training, fostering, teaching and scientific research; closely combine summarizing practice with theoretical research; actively participate in the struggle on the ideological and theoretical front. At the same time, focus on building modern facilities and equipment, promoting the sense of responsibility and solidarity of pedagogical forces; pay attention to ensuring full policies for cadres, lecturers, students... Implement well the motto of the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense: "The quality of training of the school is the combat readiness of the unit".
