Advancing toward socialism has been the consistent path and ultimate objective of the Vietnamese revolution; it is a historical inevitability chosen by our nation and increasingly realised across all aspects of social life in our country. The great and historically significant achievements that our country has achieved, especially in nearly 40 years of renovation, stemmed from the correct choice and steadfast determination of our Party and people in pursuing the goal and path toward socialism.

Historical reality has proven that the leadership of the Party is the leading factor that determines the growth and victory of our Army, including in building a revolutionary, regular, elite, and modern military. Any distorted rhetoric that denies this is wrong and reactionary and must be promptly identified and refuted.

These arguments are entirely unfounded, rooted in theoretical misinterpretation and divorced from historical and practical realities. On this matter, Marxist - Leninist theorists have made it clear: “The military is an organised force of armed individuals funded by the State to carry out offensive or defensive warfare”. Thus, the existence of the military is inseparably linked to that of the State; it will cease to exist only when the State itself no longer exists

In order to sabotage the path of renovate, construction and development of the country in the direction of socialism initiated and led by our Party, hostile and reactionary forces continuously spread false and reactionary arguments, including the argument of “developing capitalism under the leadership of the Communist Party”. This is a baseless distortion that needs to be exposed and resolutely fought to refute.

Based on V.I. Lenin's theoretical innovations regarding ownership and a multi-sector economy in the transitional period towards socialism, President Ho Chi Minh creatively applied these principles to the Vietnamese revolution. This not only contributed to the development of Marxist - Leninist theories but also served as a foundation for the Party to gain a clearer understanding of the country's development model on the path towards socialism

Fully aware of the importance of ideological work, the Central Military Commission, the Ministry of National Defence, the General Department of Politics, offices, and units across the VPA have always exercised their close leadership and direction over ideological work via synchronous, creative, effective measures, under the motto: “ideological work will always be one step ahead of every task”
