We must recognize the importance of comprehensively strengthening military governance, strengthen mission responsibility, carry forward the spirit of reform and innovation, increase the intensity of military governance work, and use new military governance to promote the new development of the strong military cause.
We need to strengthen the system concept, adhere to problem orientation, strengthen the top-level design and strategic planning of military governance, strengthen governance in various fields, the entire chain, and all levels, and promote it with a plan and focus. We need to strengthen overall coordination, cross departmental and cross disciplinary coordination, and improve the systematic, holistic, and collaborative nature of military governance. We need to strengthen military expenditure management and supervision, deepen governance in key areas, and drive overall progress through key breakthroughs. We need to deepen the innovation of strategic management, improve and perfect the mechanism for scientific generation, rapid response, and effective implementation of needs, move away from the path of professional evaluation throughout the entire process, ensure smooth and efficient links, and leverage the overall effectiveness of military system operation. Senior government agencies and cadres should take the lead in liberating their minds, innovating their work methods, promoting various work with the concept of governance, and enhancing their abilities in systematic governance, legal governance, comprehensive governance, and source governance. We must attach great importance to grassroots governance, respect the status and pioneering spirit of officers and soldiers as the main body, and promote comprehensive progress and excellence in grassroots construction.

The military should establish good communication and coordination with local authorities, and fully leverage the traction role of military needs in national defense construction. We need to continuously optimize institutional mechanisms, improve organizational systems, improve policy systems, and form a cross military and civilian work pattern with each performing their respective duties, close cooperation, and standardization and order.
