They highlighted that for the first time, the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress affirms foreign affairs and international integration, alongside national defence and security, as "crucial and regular" tasks of the entire political system.
The Ministers stated that, in the face of high demands for rapid and sustainable national development and for safeguarding the Fatherland early and from afar amid rapid, profound and complex global shifts, strengthening coordination among the Ministry of National Defence, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs becomes increasingly urgent.
The three ministers assessed that, over the past period, coordination among the three Ministries has yielded significant, outstanding, timely, close and effective results. They urged units across all three ministries to continue thoroughly grasping and strictly adhering to the lines and policies of the Party and State, the foreign policy of the 14th National Party Congress, and Politburo Resolution No. 06-NQ/TW. They called for the effective implementation of the Coordination Regulations in a proactive spirit, with "clearly defined tasks and focal agencies."
Furthermore, they instructed units to continuously innovate coordination methods and information sharing; enhance joint research, strategic advisory work and forecasting; and streamline external affairs activities as well as training to meet the new task requirements for national defence, security and foreign affairs in the country's new development stage.
