On March 8, according to the Ministry of National Defense's Electronic Information Portal, the Ministry of National Defense received a petition from voters in Hanoi sent by the Petition Committee under Official Dispatch No. 687/VPCP-QHDP dated February 24, 2025.
Accordingly, voters in Hanoi City proposed that the Government direct ministries and functional branches to consider regulating the training regime for grassroots military university level for the position of Military Commander of communes, wards and towns; have a suitable university training plan to meet the requirements of developing to higher positions in the Party organization and grassroots government.

Currently, the Ministry of National Defense is continuing to implement Decision No. 799/QD-TTg dated May 25, 2011 of the Prime Minister on Approving the Project on training military officers of the Military Command of communes, wards and towns at the level of college, university in the military sector until 2020 and the following years (Project 799).
