Hanoi (VNA) – The Academy of Politics under the Ministry of ♈National Defence needs to join in building the army strong politically as this is an urgent, crucial issue in the national defence in the new period, said Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc.
The PM made the request at a ceremony marking the 65 th anniversary of the academy in Hanoi on October 23.
An army with political firmness helps form an elite, revolutionary, regular, and gradually modernising army as determined by the Party and State to defend the country in the new period, he clarified.
The academy, therefore, should continue improving the quality of political education, actively conduct theoretical research, and accumulate experience in service of that goal, the leader added.
Founded amidst the fierce struggle against US forces, the academy has continuously revamped its operation model, objectives as well as training methods. It has trained nearly 40,000 local political officials and lecturers.
Besides, the academy also trained nearly 1,300 officials for Laos and Cambodia, contributing to consolidating the solidarity, friendship and cooperation with the two neighbouring countries.

The programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses has achieved notable results, with nearly 263,000 housing units addressed to date, including 225,000 houses inaugurated and 38,000 under construction. Thirty-eight provinces and cities across the nation have already fulfilled their targets.
Stronger efforts and determination are required to achieve and surpass the set targets, especially in the eradication of makeshift and dilapidated houses nationwide, the acceleration of public investment disbursement, and the implementation of nationally important transport projects, PM Pham Minh Chinh noted.
