He noted Corps 34 to pay greater attention to political, ideological and revolutionary tradition education for officers and soldiers, while coordinating with relevant agencies and localities to enhance its combat capacity and civil defence.
The leader asked the unit to streamline operations into a modern and elite system for the new period, and make careful precautions for the all-level Party congresses in the 2025-2030 tenure.

Visiting Brigade 15, an economic-defence unit known for its strategic location and contributions to regional development, General Secretary Lam urged Brigade 15 to fulfil the three major roles in the military as a combat force, a working force, and a production force, while maintaining its loyalty to the Party, State, and people. He emphasised human-centred development, political education, and countering hostile narratives to protect the Party’s ideological foundation.
The unit has been asked to carefully undertake its dual mission of defence and socioeconomic development. It should increase its engagement in improving people's economic production, responding to disasters and epidemics, while ensuring social security within the military.
