On behalf of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission and the leadership of the Ministry of National Defense, I warmly commend, acknowledge the efforts and congratulate the achievements that the Party Committee and the Central Military Commission have achieved in the past term.

The limitations and shortcomings mentioned in the Political Report are seriously assessed, demonstrating a spirit of receptiveness, responsibility and high fighting spirit. It is recommended that delegates attending the Congress promote democracy, uphold the spirit of self-criticism and criticism, analyze and clearly point out the causes, especially subjective causes, in order to have solutions to thoroughly overcome them right from the beginning of the new term.

In the coming years, the world and regional situation is forecast to continue to develop rapidly and complicatedly; disputes over sovereignty of territory, seas and islands; armed conflicts and local wars will still occur in many places; countries will adjust their strategies, both cooperating and compromising and competing fiercely; Southeast Asia and the East Sea still have many potential risks of collision and conflict. High technology and artificial intelligence will develop by leaps and bounds, profoundly impacting all fields, including military tasks, national defense, national defense and CTĐ and CTCT activities.

After 40 years of renovation, our country's foundation, potential, position and international prestige have been raised. The revolution in streamlining the political system's organizational apparatus, along with strategic decisions: Innovation, building and enforcing laws; developing science, technology, innovation and digital transformation; developing the private economy; international integration... are creating historic opportunities, turning points for breakthrough development in the new era, towards successfully achieving the goal of 100 years of founding the Party and 100 years of founding the Country. However, besides the fundamental advantages, our country continues to face many difficulties and challenges that will have a comprehensive and profound impact on the military, national defense and Fatherland protection tasks, on improving the overall quality and combat strength of the Army, especially building a politically strong Army. At the same time, it sets new requirements for the Party Committee of the TCCT Agency in leading the work of advising and directing strategies on CTĐ and CTCT for the entire army.

Promoting the tradition of more than 80 years of construction, fighting and growth and the results and achievements gained in the past term, the Party Committee and the Central Military Commission need to continue to strive to comprehensively complete the goals, programs and plans set out in the 2025 - 2030 term; focusing on:
