Hanoi: State President Luong Cuong on February 20 urged the Ministry of National Defence to take the lead in implementing the restructuring scheme, based on the principle of “one agency handles multiple tasks, and each task is assigned to only one body.” The State leader made this request during a working session with the ministry, regarding the implementation of the Politburo’s Resolution 05 on the organisation of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA), for the 2021-2030 period and beyond.
According to Vietnam News Agency, the restructuring plan aims to enhance the operational efficiency of the Ministry of National Defence by streamlining tasks and ensuring that responsibilities are clearly defined and assigned. The move is expected to improve coordination within the ministry and optimize resource utilization.
The restructuring scheme is part of broader efforts outlined in the Politburo’s Resolution 05, which focuses on modernizing and organizing the VPA to better address contemporary challenges. The resolution lays out a strategic vision for the VPA, emphasizing the need for a flexible and responsive military organization capable of safeguarding national interests.
The Ministry of National Defence has been tasked with developing a detailed plan to implement the restructuring, with a focus on eliminating overlaps in responsibilities and enhancing inter-agency cooperation. This initiative is seen as crucial for maintaining the effectiveness and efficiency of the VPA in a rapidly changing global security environment.
