In Vietnam, freedom of speech and freedom of the press are constitutionally guaranteed rights and are further institutionalised through an increasingly comprehensive legal system. Article 25 of the 2013 Constitution affirms that: “Citizens shall enjoy the right to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, access to information, assembly, association, and demonstration. The exercise of these rights is prescribed by law”

In the context of deepening international integration and defence diplomacy, Vietnam has continuously expanded cooperation, actively participated in multilateral mechanisms, promoted dialogue, built strategic trust, and enhanced its international position. Taking advantage of this process, hostile forces have intensified the propaganda promoting the rhetoric of “neutralising” the Military with sophisticated interpretations that easily breed misconceptions.

Recently, the political and security situation in the Middle East has become increasingly complex, leading to a significant change in the region’s strategic order. This transformation is not simply a return to “the old order” or “a unipolar system”, but rather a shift towards a new and more complex strategic order
Remaining vigilant against distortions of our Military’s discipline
Wednesday, September 10, 2025, 08:20 (GMT+7)
Self-imposed and strict discipline is a fine tradition and one of the fundamental factors that create the fighting strength and bring victories to the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA). However, hostile and reactionary forces deliberately distort the nature and role of our military discipline in an attempt to carry out their scheme of “depoliticising” our VPA. Therefore, raising vigilance and resolutely combating such schemes represent an urgent task for every officer and soldier today

The armed forces’ role in August 1945 General Uprising and issues on building a modern Vietnam People’s Army today
Friday, August 15, 2025, 10:51 (GMT+7)
In August 1945, under the leadership of the Party and leader Ho Chi Minh, our people conducted a General Uprising to smash the yoke of colonialism, fascism, and feudalism, establish the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and usher our nation into a new era - the era of national independence and socialism. In that great victory, our fledgling revolutionary armed forces played a core role in guiding and assisting the masses in rising up to seize power. Those historical lessons remain valuable in the Military’s building and fighting cause in general, the building of a modern Vietnam People’s Army in particular
Remaining vigilant against hostile forces’ plot to exploit organisational streamlining to undermine the Vietnam People's Army
Wednesday, May 28, 2025, 13:48 (GMT+7)
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
