Party General Secretary and State President To Lam, who is also Secretary of the Central Military Commission, visited and worked with the General Department of Defence Intelligence under the Ministry of National Defence on September 29.

The defence intelligence is a key force with a very important role in gathering information, assessing and forecasting situations, and advising leaders of the Party, State, Central Military Commission, Ministry of Defence, and various agencies and localities in formulating strategies and policies, handling situations proactively, and ensuring that there are no surprises or passivity in terms of strategies.

The Party and State leader acknowledged and highly praised the significant achievements and glorious tradition of the force, while also setting high demands for it in the new situation.

He noted that the global and regional situations will continue to experience complex and unpredictable changes, directly and rapidly impacting Vietnam with both positive and negative effects.

This places an increasingly heavy responsibility on the defence intelligence force, requiring even greater efforts and determination to fulfill its assigned tasks so as to contribute to the collective efforts of the Party, the people, and the armed forces to successfully accomplish the two strategic tasks of building and defending the socialist Vietnam in the new context, he stressed.

The top leader required the defence intelligence force to assert itself as the absolutely loyal and highly trusted force of the Party, State, army, and people; and continue to fulfill its role as the strategic intelligence agency of the Party and State, as well as the military intelligence agency of the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of Defence.

It must strive to further improve the quality of its operations, and effectively and diligently serve the leadership of the Party, State, army, and various agencies and localities in assessing and understanding the situation, formulating strategies and policies, and handling various scenarios, said Lam.

The defence intelligence sector must always prioritise the development of a contingent of personnel with strong political resolve, sharp insight, and professional thinking, as well as qualifications and expertise commensurate with their roles and responsibilities, considering this as the foundation for building a revolutionary intelligence force, he added.
