The PM stated the importance of national defence when inspecting combat training at Air Force Regiment 910 on April 7 during his visit to the central province of Phu Yen.

At a meeting with its officers and soldiers, Dung praised the regiment’s achievements, as well as its contributions to the country over the past years, noting that the defence building task is still extremely important for a peaceful country.

The regiment has to teach moral virtues and dignity to pilots and officers in the new revolutionary period so that it becomes a united division, which is absolutely faithful to the Party, State and people, and deserving of the heroic regiment’s glorious tradition, Dung added.

He asked the regiment to actively renovate its training methods, especially for pilots.

Over the past 54 years, Regiment 910 has always fulfilled its assigned duties, including the training of thousands of Vietnamese pilots, thus improving the fighting capacity of the country’s Air Force.

It has also actively participated in search and rescue activities.

The same day, PM Dung also inspected the construction of a passenger terminal at Tuy Hoa airport. The project got underway in August 2012, and is scheduled to be completed this August.
