The Military News Agency reported that the Political Affairs Office of the Ministry of National Defense held the expanded seminar on the new construction project of the National Military Museum yesterday. The meeting convened the project team and technical service providers to jointly review the project's progress, requiring all units to strictly control the construction schedule, implement site safety management, and ensure construction quality and safety.

The Military News Agency indicated that the meeting was chaired by Lieutenant General Sun Li-fang and included representatives from design supervision, project management, and construction companies. They discussed the project progress and occupational safety and health requirements.

Sun stated that the Military Museum is Taiwan's first national-level professional military museum, bearing the important mission of preserving the history of the armed forces and passing on the spirit of national defense. The main construction has now entered its final critical stage and has attracted significant attention and expectations from all sectors. He emphasized that the project team should uphold professionalism and responsibility, sparing no effort to ensure the project is completed on time and with the required quality, while balancing quality and safety.
