President Quang requested the Ministries of National Defence, and Education and Training, agencies and localities to create favourable conditions for the academy, helping it prove itself as an important and prestigious training and scientific research centre of the Vietnam People’s Army and the State.
He applauded the MTA’s efforts in military training and scientific research during the past struggle against US forces and at present, saying the academy has trained tens of thousands of scientific and technological officials for the army, ministries, agencies and localities, as well as the two neighbouring countries of Laos and Cambodia.
Its scientific and technological activities have all served the task of building a regular , elite and modern revolutionary armed forces, the President said, adding that the academy has constructively participated in major projects and programmes launched by the VPA and the State.
The leader expressed his belief that the MTA will gain greater achievements, contributing to national construction and protection.
