Dear all comrades!

Over the past two years, implementing Conclusion No. 01, the Central Military Commission has had many policies, measures, approaches and creative models, suitable to the characteristics and tasks of the Army:

First of all , the Central Military Commission has led, directed, thoroughly grasped, implemented, and concretized Conclusion No. 01 in line with the characteristics, requirements, and tasks of agencies and units throughout the army. Organized education, thoroughly grasped, and raised awareness and responsibility for cadres, party members, and the masses about Conclusion No. 01, Conclusion 21, Regulation 37 of the 4th Central Conference of the 13th tenure, and the Central Committee's special topic. Put the content of Conclusion No. 01 into the action program to implement the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, the resolutions of the Party Congresses at all levels for the 2020-2025 term, and into the targets of the campaign, the Determination to Win Emulation Movement to carry out key tasks and breakthroughs in Party building and rectification work. The Central Military Commission has proactively developed a special topic and issued Resolution 847 on "Promoting the qualities of Uncle Ho's soldiers, resolutely fighting individualism in the new situation". This demonstrates the high political determination in the leadership and direction of the Central Military Commission in implementing Conclusion No. 01, the conclusions and regulations of the Central Committee on Party building and rectification. The Resolution of the Central Military Commission is a major policy, the basis for agencies and units in the entire army to develop projects and programs to fight against individualism; prevent and combat corruption, waste and negativity.

Second , promote the exemplary role of cadres and party members, especially cadres in charge at all levels in leadership, command and management through specific and practical actions. With high political determination to change the exemplary role of cadres and party members, party committees and party organizations at all levels have proactively included the content of Resolution 847 of the Central Military Commission on "Promoting the qualities of Uncle Ho's soldiers, resolutely fighting against individualism in the new situation" in the entire-term and annual topics, especially the content of the work "Resolutely and persistently fighting against corruption and negativity, contributing to building our Party and State increasingly clean and strong" by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong in the monthly political activities of party committees at all levels. Thereby, cadres and party members "self-reflect, self-correct", with the motto "above first, below later; inside first, outside later; above set an exemplary example, below actively follow". The exemplary conduct of the cadres and party members has inspired cadres and soldiers to overcome all difficulties and hardships, and be ready to receive and complete well all assigned tasks.

Third , direct the promotion of the role of news agencies and newspapers in the Army in propagating and spreading the study and following of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style. Press agencies closely follow the practical activities of the army, promote propaganda of new models, creative and effective ways of doing things, good people and good deeds, and have opened many special pages and columns such as: "Beautifying the qualities of Uncle Ho's soldiers"; "Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style - worthy of being Uncle Ho's soldiers"; "Uncle Ho with soldiers"; "Uncle Ho's teachings on this day in history"... with rich and diverse forms. At the same time, provide content to spread on pages and groups to create a mainstream propaganda stream to orient information in the press and social networks. In particular, the People's Army Newspaper has organized 14 times the Writing Contest "Simple but noble examples" reflecting the images of exemplary officers and soldiers in training, combat readiness, participation in overcoming the consequences of natural disasters, domestic and international search and rescue... contributing to spreading the beautiful image of Uncle Ho's soldiers, strengthening people's trust in the Party, State and Army.

Fourthly , through the two-year implementation of Conclusion No. 01 in conjunction with the implementation of the conclusions and regulations of the 4th Central Conference of the 13th tenure on Party building and rectification, the campaigns and the Emulation Movement for Victory of the entire army have seen the emergence of many new models, creative and effective ways of doing things, and advanced examples in agencies and units such as the models: "Every day learning one of Uncle Ho's teachings from cadres and soldiers of the entire army"; "Party members guiding the masses"; "4-good Party organizations and cells"; "Every day, each cadre and party member says one good thing and does ten good things"; "Helping children go to school"; "Vietnam Navy Program as a fulcrum for fishermen to go offshore and stick to the sea"; "Coast Guard accompanies fishermen"... The General Department of Politics has directed the selection and introduction of the above creative and effective models and ways of doing things for the Central Committee to edit books and make propaganda films nationwide. At the same time, 100 typical models were selected to edit and publish as documents serving leadership, direction, propaganda and dissemination throughout the army. At the same time, over the past two years, implementing Conclusion No. 01 and the Campaign "Promoting tradition, dedicating talent, worthy of being Uncle Ho's soldiers", the entire army has had tens of thousands of typical collectives and individuals honored and rewarded at all levels.

We agree on the limitations, shortcomings as well as the direction and tasks in the coming time as reported to the center and would like to study, absorb and supplement them in the action program for implementation throughout the army in the coming years.

Dear comrades!

In the coming time, especially from 2023 to 2025, we will have many important historical events: The 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory; 80th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People's Army; 35th anniversary of the National Defense Day; 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification; 80th anniversary of the founding of the Country... This is a very important occasion for us to continue to effectively implement Conclusion No. 01. I agree with the proposed policies and solutions for implementation in the coming time and would like to emphasize some of the following specific contents:

Firstly , it is necessary to continue to promote propaganda and education to raise awareness, responsibility and action for cadres, party members and the masses on implementing Conclusion No. 01, conclusions and regulations of the 4th Central Conference of the 13th tenure, organizing extensive political activities throughout the Party on Party building and rectification, with appropriate, practical and effective forms and measures; promoting the role of press, cultural, literary and artistic agencies; promoting propaganda on studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle.

Second , closely combine studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle with conclusions and regulations on Party building and rectification in implementing the political tasks of agencies and units, focusing on identifying and resolving breakthroughs and key tasks.

Third , diversify the forms and measures of implementation, continue to replicate new models, creative and effective ways of doing things, promptly draw lessons and replicate them nationwide. Continue to promote the exemplary responsibility of cadres and party members, especially heads of party committees and organizations, attach importance to building and implementing cultural standards in leadership, direction, management, discovering, fostering, praising, propagating and replicating new models, creative and effective ways of doing things, and typical advanced examples throughout the army.

We would like to sincerely thank and wish the hosts, delegates and distinguished guests good health, happiness and success.

Thanks a lot!
