1 FOREWORDS 1. Overview of the work research project Strengthening the leadership of the provincial and city’s party committees to military and defense is one of the key tasks of local committees There are many new problems requiring promoting theoretical studies, practical summaries, clarifying the issues on strengthening the leadership of the Party in general, and of the local committees at all levels in particular to local military and defense I noticed that, besides the outstanding achievements in local military and defense of provinces and cities in Military Zone 3 over the past time, the leadership and direction of the local Military and defense by province and city's party committees also has limitations and shortcomings affecting the performance of tasks in local military and defense in provinces and cities in Military Zone The question is how to overcome the limitations and shortcomings in leadership and direction of the local military and defense by province and city’s committees in Military Zone 3 meeting mission requirements in the new situation? This has always made me think, concern and form an idea of research for many years, especially in the teaching process at the Ho Chi Minh Academy of Politics Therefore, I have selected the following topic: “Strengthening the Leadership in Province and City’s Committees in Military Zone 3 for Military, Local Defense at Present Time for my thesis During the implementation of this project, I have refered to related research results of military and nonmilitary scientific works. Also, based on the results of the leadership in local military and defense by province and city’s committees in Military Zone 3, the report on assessment of results of leadership of local military and defense by party committee High Command of Military Zone 3, together with the survey data on the leadership of province and city’s committees in Military Zone 3 for the local military and defense from 2005 to now as the argument for implementation of the research. 2. Selection of thesis theme Local military and defense is of particularly importance position in building the national defense, national defense battle arrangement, people's war to protect the socialist nation. In peacetime, the role of local military and defense is increasing. To promote the role of local military and defense, the most important issue, which is of crucial significance is to strengthen the Party's leadership for local military and defense at the grassroots level, from the local, provincial, to city levels The provinces and cities directly under the Central Government have always been identified as important units in the building defense areas, building the national defense, national defense battle arrangement. Besides, imperialism and hostile forces are focusing on fighting the country’s revolution by the strategy of “peaceful evolution”, causing turmoil in all areas, in order to remove ideology platform of the Party; removing the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam; creating dissension, disunity within the party and between the party and local people from the grassroots. Therefore, strengthening the leadership of the province and city’s committees for local military and defense is an urgent demand Military Zone 3 is the key strategic area in the defense posture of the country a vast territory, rich historical and cultural traditions, and has economic potential, including plains, cites, mountains and seas, and islands. The national defense, national defense battle arrangement, the strength and potential of the defense area of provinces and cities in Military Zone 3 are closely related to the defense posture of the whole country The cause of industrialization and modernization, openness, international economic integration have had a strong impact on all areas of social life, including the field of military – defense, requiring attention and strengthened leadership and guidance of the province and city’s committees in Military Zone 3 for the local military and defense In recent years, with the attention of the Party the High Commander of Military Zone 3, under the leadership of the province and city’s committees, the local military and defense in provinces and cities have achieved certain results, contributing significantly to the political stability at grassroots level, creating favorable conditions for the development of socio economic opportunity in each locality The mechanism of leadership, management and administration of the local military and defense has been implemented seriously and creatively. The leadership the province and city’s committees, the direction and administration of the People's Council, People’s Committee and the role of advising and implementation of military agencies, military’s party committees, local departments, unions for the local military and defense has had many progressive changes However, considering the mission requirements of defense security in the new situation, the quality and efficiency as well as the transformation of local military and defense still have limitations and shortcomings: awareness of the military and defense tasks at different levels and sectors and among the people has been uneven; content, methods of leadership in local military and defense of some provinces have not been comprehensive and specific; the sense of vigilance, sense of responsibility are inadequate; leadership, guidance and coordination and implementation remains loose; advisory role of military agencies, military’s party committees in some localities are still limited; the implementation of leadership, management and administration of the local military and defense still confused, slow in summation, supplement and development. Currently, given the complicated developments of the national and global situation, especially burning, urgent and sensitive issues on the South China Sea, strengthening the leadership of party in general, and of the province and city’s committees in Military Zone 3 in particular for local military and defense to meet mission requirements in the new situation is essential. 3.
