By doing so, our national strength including defense and security will be enhanced.
According to President Sang, to achieved the goal of national construction and defense, there is an urgent need for courageous, enthusiastic and faithful people to join hands. The Vietnam People’s Army is not only the leading force of national defense but also of -economic development process.
