In addition, directing forces on duty at sea is very important in order to promptly detect and demonstrate a resolute fight against forces that violate our sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction on the seas and islands; communicating and mobilizing fishermen not to exploit illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing; promoting well the ship locks and fishing villages on the Truong Sa archipelago and the forces on duty on the islands and rigs to be ready to help people prevent, combat and overcome the consequences of natural disasters, search and rescue, is always a solid support for fishermen to feel secure in going offshore and clinging to the sea.
Moreover, the Navy needs to continue to well implement the coordinated sea and island communication program signed with localities, agencies and units. This coordination focuses on improving the quality of conferences, seminars and exhibitions; organizing delegations to visit the Truong Sa archipelago, the DKI platform and island routes across the country; combining communication work with well-organized movements and campaigns towards the sea and islands launched by the Central Government, localities and units.
At the same time, the Navy also needs to coordinate efforts to cover the important political events of the country, the Army and the Navy; show examples of will, determination, and high responsibility in performing tasks; the concern of the Party, State and People for the military and people of Truong Sa island district, DKI rig and the seas and islands of the Fatherland.
