PM lauds capital High Command
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc praised the High Command of Hanoi for its comprehensive performance of tasks over the past year while visiting the unit on February 12 on the occasion of the upcoming Tet (Lunar New Year) festival.
Regarding key national defence and security tasks in 2018, PM Phuc said apart from advantages, the regional and international situations remained complicated and the imperatives of national construction and national defence created new tasks and requirements. He urged the Ministry of National Defence and Hanoi authorities to pay special attention to building strong armed forces to effectively fulfil assigned tasks.
The unit should also effectively coordinate with other forces to ensure absolute safety during critical political events and major anniversaries, as well as national security, social order and safety for the capital city, the PM noted.
It was necessary for the unit to speed up international integration and improve external defence relations; proactively participate in supporting needy people and in natural disaster prevention and mitigation, as well as in search and rescue activities.
Regarding the upcoming traditional Tet festivities, PM Phuc asked the unit’s leaders to pay more attention to the spiritual and material life of its troops, particularly those who are on duty during Tet and those from disadvantaged families.
As the Lunar New Year is drawing near, the PM wished the command, its troops and militia and self-defence force good health, happiness and success in task performance.
