Documents such as Conclusion No. 443-KL/DU and Directive No. 13-CT/DU of the Military Region Party Committee Standing Committee have become the guiding principles in innovation and field trips to do mass mobilization work, contributing to building a solid "people's hearts and minds position" in strategic areas.

Conference overview.

The emulation movement of "Skilled mass mobilization" and building "Good mass mobilization units" has been widely deployed with many practical models, suitable for each type of unit and local characteristics. Many units have closely followed key areas of national defense and security, remote areas, and ethnic minority areas to propagate and mobilize people to well implement the Party's policies and the State's laws, and fight to defeat the plot to divide the great national unity bloc. Hundreds of thousands of cadres and soldiers marched to the grassroots, participated in building new rural areas, preventing natural disasters and epidemics, helping people to eliminate hunger and reduce poverty, and create sustainable livelihoods. Many mass mobilization activities associated with indigenous ethnic cultures such as eating together, living together, speaking ethnic languages; adapting songs and skits into local languages... have created a great influence, strengthening people's trust in the Party and the Army.

During the 2021-2025 period, the Military Region's armed forces have closely coordinated with local Party committees, authorities, departments, and organizations to effectively implement national target programs, especially the socio-economic development program for ethnic minority and mountainous areas. Economic-defense delegations have promoted technology transfer, supported crop and livestock varieties, contributing to increasing income and improving people's lives. Along with that, border propaganda, defense diplomacy, and people's diplomacy have also been focused on.

Military Region 5 has coordinated to organize many activities of exchange, visit, medical examination and treatment, and emergency relief for the people of Laos and Cambodia when they encounter natural disasters and epidemics, contributing to strengthening the special friendship and solidarity between the peoples, building a peaceful and friendly border.
