Dinh The Huynh, Politburo member and Head of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV)’s Popularization and Education Commission said this during his delegation’s visit to the Vietnamese Navy base in Hai Phong City on February 22.

Political Commissar and Vice Admiral Tran Thanh Huyen briefed the delegation on the Navy’s activities, coordination in the dissemination of information about sea and islands, and the implementation of the Political Bureau’s resolution and the Central Military Commission’s instruction on studying and following Ho Chi Minh’s moral example.

The Vietnamese Navy has realized the set plans in combination with implementing the 11^th National Party Congress resolutions and the fourth CPV conference’s resolution on urgent issues of current Party building. As a result, there have been drastic changes in raising the awareness and sense of responsibility among cadres and Party members of the need to fulfil the assigned tasks.

The Party Committee and the Navy High Command of the Vietnamese Navy has set five key tasks for building a stronger naval force in 2012, with a focus on continuing the “Studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s moral example” campaign, and effective implementation of the CPV resolution on Party-building work.
