On October 25, 2013, the 8th Plenum of the Party Central Committee of 11th tenure adopted Resolution No. 28-NQ/TW on the National Defense Strategy in the new situation. The resolution details the Party’s national defense tasks as well as clearly defines the objectives, viewpoints, guiding mottos, tasks and solutions for the implementation of the national defense strategy in line with the new regional, global context, and international integration trend.

Speaking at the meeting, Minister To Lam affirmed the need to review the implementation of Resolution No. 28 as the world, the region and the country have seen profound changes over the past decade,  placing new requirements and tasks for the realization of the national defense strategy.

Therefore, Minister To Lam asked the entire Public Security Forces, heads of public security agencies and local police units to organize meetings to comprehensively review and properly evaluate the implementation of the strategy of their units.

Minister To Lam also requested relevant units to urgently make assessments of current risks and challenges facing national security and send them to the Standing Committee to summarize a report for the leadership of the MPS present at the upcoming National Conference to review the resolution.
