Party leader works with police force

He made the call while working with leaders of the Ministry of Public Security in Hanoi on August 19, marking the 68th traditional day of the Vietnam People’s Police, the August Revolution and National Day (September 2). 

Party leader Nguyen Phu Trong assigned key tasks to the police force

Under the sound leadership of the CPV and State, the public security force has uncovered and smashed a number of plots against Vietnam by hostile and reactionary forces in recent years. Other violations of national defence that were intercepted have garnered public support. The building of staff has also been strengthened to meet working demand. 

Trong said the force must fully understand and properly put the CPV’s guidelines on national security defence into practice. At the same time, it should be determined to defeat hostile forces’ schemes and combat national security crime. 

He pointed out key tasks that the public security force must do to overcome future challenges. He required the force to effectively implement Party resolutions and Directives on national security protection. 

The police were urged to work closely with ministries and agencies, especially in information dissemination and the media while fighting against wrong allegations of hostile and reactionary forces and raising public awareness of national defence. 

Public Security Minister Gen. Tran Dai Quang vowed to work hard to protect the socialist regime

Turning to mass mobilisation, Party leader Trong said it must be done according to the motto of “Starting from the people” in tandem with reducing poverty and ensuring social equality. 
The force was asked to make suggestions to the Party and State to perfect the legal system and institutionalise the Party’s guidelines and policies, thus laying a legal foundation for State management in security. 

It must build a transparent and strong contingent with firm political will, good morality and a command of professional and science-technology expertise, he said. 

In lifestyle, the police were requested to follow six teachings of late President Ho Chi Minh and determinedly fix shortcomings right after criticism and self-criticism in the spirit of the Resolution on Party building 

Minister of Public Security Gen. Tran Dai Quang vowed to work out a concrete action plan to fulfil the goal of safeguarding national security and social safety, contributing to socio-economic development deserving of the trust of the Party, State and people.
