He asked all agencies and units in the army to make greater efforts to implement the Party’s guidelines; State’s policies and laws; as well as the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defence’s directions on women’s work and gender equality.

It is necessary to enhance human resource training and empower female staff in line with their qualifications, capacity, and family background, particularly those working in remote and disadvantaged areas, he stressed.
He noted that the initiatives and achievements of women working in the people’s army should be promptly honoured.

He also called on the honourees to perform their tasks better while promoting the good nature of Uncle Ho’s soldiers and upholding the heroic tradition of the Vietnam People’s Army.
