On April 6, according to the Ministry of National Defense's Electronic Information Portal, the Ministry of National Defense has just received a petition from voters in Hai Duong province sent by the Petition Committee.
Accordingly, voters in Hai Duong province expressed their agreement with amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Officers of the Vietnam People's Army, especially increasing the retirement age for officers of the Vietnam People's Army to promote the capacity, qualifications and experience of officers with basic training, contributing to reducing the pressure on training of the People's Army.
At the same time, it is also in line with the new spirit of the Labor Code. In addition, voters in Hai Duong province hope to add more policies and treatment regimes for the Vietnam People's Army.
Responding to this proposal, the Ministry of National Defense said that in recent years, the Party and State have issued and implemented many preferential policies and guidelines for the armed forces in general and the Vietnam People's Army in particular such as: Policies on wages and allowances; housing; social insurance and health insurance; education and training; increasing retirement age; specialized occupational allowances...
Thereby, contributing to stabilizing the family's rear, encouraging the soldiers to overcome difficulties and complete all assigned tasks well.
The issue of voters wishing to add more policies and remuneration for the Vietnam People's Army and the Ministry of Defense would like to absorb and continue to direct the relevant authorities to coordinate closely with the ministries, central branches and localities to study the contents prescribed in the revised officer law, on the basis of that to propose the Government to promulgate the regime and policies in accordance with the policy of social insurance policy, the TWP 28-NQ/TW of the Party Central Committee (Session XII) and economic conditions of the country.
