At the get-together, officers and soldiers of provincial armed forces reviewed the glorious tradition of the militia and self-defense forces. Right from the founding day of the Party, the Party and Uncle Ho have advocated the motto of "Arming for workers and farmers". On March 28, 1935, our Party issued the "Resolution on Self-Defense Forces". This was the first resolution of the Party on organization, direction, construction, training and operation of self-defense forces. Since then, under the leadership of the Party, workers and peasants' self-defense teams as mass armed organizations were born one after the other. These were the first establishments of the People's Armed Forces.

Along with the development and maturity of the militia force across the country, the militia force in the province was built, consolidated and developed step by step at entrusted tasks, requirements. During the past 87 years, in the face of hardships, the local militia force was wholeheartedly loyal to the Party, the Fatherland, the people, and the Party’s revolutionary cause…with many great feats, significantly contributing to building up the local stronger and stronger  armed forces.

On this occasion, provincial Military Command awarded the certificates of merit to 12 outstanding militiamen in performing their assigned duties and responsibilities.
