Vietnam Military Commission's Inspection Committee Holds Third Session, Presided Over by Politburo Member General Nguyen Trong Nghia

The Inspection Committee of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of Vietnam held its third session on the afternoon of September 18 in Hanoi. The meeting was presided over by General Nguyen Trong Nghia, a Politburo member, Secretary of the Party Central Committee, Standing Member of the Central Military Commission, Head of the General Department of Politics of the Vietnam People's Army, and Chairman of the Inspection Committee of the Central Military Commission. This session was part of the activities of the Inspection Committee of the Central Military Commission for the term 2025-2030. While specific agenda items and decisions were not detailed, it is inferred that discussions focused on issues consistently prioritized by the Vietnamese military, such as maintaining discipline, eradicating corruption, and building a modernized army. General Nguyen Trong Nghia has also attended the Defense Ministry's emulation and commendation council meetings and the inauguration ceremony of a Safe Zone in Dong Thap province, indicating his central role in the political and ideological guidance and organizational management of the military. In particular, the policy to build Corps 12 into a lean, strong, and modern force is a crucial pillar of Vietnam's defense strategy. Under its one-party system, Vietnam prioritizes balancing social stability with economic growth, and the military's strong discipline and loyalty are vital elements supporting this foundation. Furthermore, against the backdrop of China's growing regional influence and issues in the South China Sea, the modernization and discipline reinforcement of the military are indispensable efforts for maintaining national security.
