Attending the opening ceremony of the 2019 Local Self-Defense Force Training, on behalf of the leadership of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities were Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Kim (Party Secretary, Vice Rector - Political Commissar), and on behalf of the leadership of the University of Natural Sciences was Dr. Nguyen Thanh Binh (Head of the Political and Student Affairs Department - Deputy Political Commissar).

The training session, held from July 22nd to July 29th, 2019, involved 70 Self-Defense Force members from two schools. It focused on fundamental topics such as political awareness, drill regulations, techniques, accurate grenade throwing, basic disassembly and assembly of AK and CKC rifles, and live firing. The school's military command invited the Thanh Xuan District Command to conduct a training session to exchange ideas and provide guidance on proficiently using the AK and CKC rifles in three positions: prone, kneeling, and standing. They also learned basic first aid and basic commands, as well as new exercises aimed at improving the morale and skills of the local Self-Defense Force.

Comrade Nguyen Van Kim delivered a speech on behalf of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities.

Training the local Self-Defense Force is a key task, organized annually, and involves close coordination and cooperation between the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Natural Sciences within the Hanoi National University system. Vice Rector Nguyen Van Kim emphasized the importance of this activity in maintaining security and order within the two universities, and more broadly, the district and the city. The local Self-Defense Force is a core force in safeguarding and protecting the nation against hostile forces, while also identifying new developments in detecting, preventing, and combating reactionary forces. This fosters confidence and ignites the fighting spirit of individuals and groups within the two universities.

Soldier Phung Chi Kien, on behalf of the Self-Defense Force soldiers, read the oath.

Professor Nguyen Van Kim hopes that the soldiers will strictly adhere to the organization's regulations, successfully complete the training programs, confidently participate in and achieve high results in the sports competition scheduled to be held in September 2019, as well as the sports competition of the Hanoi Capital Command in October 2019.
