Organizing training for militia and self-defense forces is an annual activity, regularly organized by two schools in the VNU system, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and the University of Natural Sciences. This is a necessary and useful activity at the present time.

The number of participants in this year's training course is 54, of which 26 are from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and 28 are from the University of Natural Sciences. The training period is about 10 days (from August 10 to 19, 2015).

The training course aims to further consolidate and enhance the political mettle of the militia and self-defense forces. As major training and scientific research centers of the country, that spirit and mettle are demonstrated by awareness, deep political awareness and combat readiness.

As part of the militia force in Thanh Xuan District, the two schools' forces contribute with relevant forces to protect security and order in the capital, at a time when the political situation has many hot spots, especially when China brought the drilling rig into the continental shelf, the exclusive economic zone of the motherland. The training session is also an opportunity to select worthy comrades to participate in the militia and self-defense sports competitions at the district and city levels.

Comrade Nguyen Van Bay, Political Assistant of Thanh Xuan District Military Command, is giving a lecture on "Disputes in the East Sea, forecast of the situation in the coming time and the viewpoint of our Party and State on resolving them."

Speaking at the opening ceremony, comrade Nguyen Van Kim, Party Secretary, Vice Principal of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities emphasized: "We are on summer vacation, but we need to strictly follow the instructions and assignments of the leaders and the Military Command of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and the University of Natural Sciences. Regarding learning awareness, we must participate in the course seriously and fully. Regarding the number, we must ensure 100% during the entire training period, except in very special cases, in which case you must report, apply for permission and receive approval from the Command Board."

After the opening session, the comrades attended a training course on political awareness, listening to the topic "Disputes in the East Sea, forecast of the situation in the coming time and the viewpoints of our Party and State on resolving them" lectured by comrade Nguyen Van Bay, Political Assistant of the Thanh Xuan District Military Command.
