Vietnam's military pushes for innovation and self-reliance in logistics and defense tech
Vietnam's military logistics and technical sector has received new directives to boost innovation and self-reliance. Party General Secretary Tô Lâm called for greater initiative in scientific research, modernisation, and strategic weapon development. The goal is to ensure timely support for training, combat readiness, and disaster response operations.
The General Department of Logistics and Technical Services was urged to prioritise strategic weapon systems and advanced technical equipment. Improving research quality at military institutions is now a key focus. The sector must also develop specialised and dual-use products, emphasising national pride and strategic autonomy.
Proactive forecasting of global military science trends was highlighted as essential. Faster adoption of new technologies and stronger assessments of international advancements are required. The logistics and technical teams must lead in innovation, absorbing cutting-edge solutions for defence and logistics.
Reforms were also called for in supply mechanisms, healthcare, and living conditions for servicemen and women. The department's support systems must meet demands for training, exercises, combat operations, and emergency responses, including disaster relief and epidemic control.
The directives aim to strengthen Vietnam's military capabilities through self-reliance and technological progress. Enhanced logistics and technical support will ensure better preparedness for both defence and humanitarian missions. No updates were provided on recent developments since the department received the Heroes of the People's Army title.
