Prime Minister Le Minh Hung made the remarks on April 12 while attending a ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of the Administrative Police for Social Order’s traditional day (April 18, 1946-April 18, 2026) and the awarding of the Ho Chi Minh Order and the First-Class Fatherland Protection Order.

Also present were Politburo member and head of the Party Central Committee’s Organisation Commission Nguyen Duy Ngoc, and Politburo member, Minister of Public Security General Luong Tam Quang.

At the ceremony, on behalf of Party and State leaders, the Prime Minister presented the Ho Chi Minh Order to the Administrative Police for Social Order, the First-Class Fatherland Protection Order to the department, and conveyed a letter of congratulations from Party General Secretary and President To Lam.

He said that over the past 80 years, the force has delivered numerous outstanding achievements and major accomplishments during the wars against France and the United States, and in the periods following national reunification, reform and international integration.

It has introduced breakthrough measures in state management of security and order across areas including residence management; issuance and management of identity cards; management of weapons, explosives and supporting tools; management of conditional business sectors related to security and order and seals; and maintenance of public order, contributing to a safe and secure environment for socio-economic development.

In recent years, under the direction of the Central Public Security Party Committee and the Ministry of Public Security, the force has produced notable and strategically significant results in the national digital transformation process, modernising governance methods and the state administrative system, and providing a new driving force for development.

The successful establishment of the national population database, issuance of chip-based ID cards, and implementation of electronic identification and authentication, along with effective execution of Project 06, stand as major achievements.

The force has made a fundamental shift to digital-based management, governance and services, forming a modern model based on data, connectivity, sharing and electronic authentication, creating a foundation to cut procedures, paperwork, time and costs, and to improve transparency, accuracy and convenience for people and businesses.

These are major contributions to reforming national governance methods, building a modern administration, and developing a digital government, digital society and digital citizens.

In a new development phase, alongside advances in science and technology and digital transformation, higher demands are being placed on governance quality, a modern, transparent, efficient and effective administrative system, and the quality of services for people and businesses.

The force therefore needs to continue to fully grasp and implement the Party’s guidelines, policies and strategies, maintain the principle that security and order are core, development is the priority, and people and businesses are at the centre of service, take the lead in transforming governance thinking, focus on removing bottlenecks, and establish a consistent legal framework for administrative management, data governance and digital transformation, linked with administrative reform and measured by service effectiveness, PM Hung went on.

He laid stress on the need to maintain its pioneering and core role in national digital transformation, ensure data remain “accurate, sufficient, clean, live, unified and shared”, and step up integration, connectivity and data sharing to form a data ecosystem serving state management and public service delivery. The system for electronic identification and authentication should be further upgraded, with VNeID developed into a national platform and a secure, accurate communication channel between the State and people and businesses.

The force should continue to serve as the standing body assisting the task force implementing Project 06, as well as administrative reform and digital transformation linked to it.

PM Hung  said the Government leadership will work directly next week with several ministries, particularly the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Home Affairs, to carry out directions from the Party Central Committee, the Politburo and the Secretariat, as well as Party General Secretary and President To Lam, on administrative reform and cutting business conditions.

Ministries are required to proactively reduce procedures and business conditions within April in line with central directives. As an advisory body, the force must take the initiative in reviewing and proposing measures to accelerate this work, creating favourable conditions and reducing costs for people and businesses.

He also called for further renewal in thinking and working methods, shifting from “administration” to modern governance, and from administrative handling to a professional, modern and science-based approach grounded in data.

The force must be built to be clean, strong, disciplined and modern, expand international cooperation in administrative management of social order, take part in developing professional standards, and step up technology transfer and mastery of advanced technologies.

He underscored the importance of safeguarding cybersecurity, system and data security, protecting personal data and state secrets, and ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of organisations and individuals, while developing digital services and maintaining security, order and national sovereignty in cyperspace.
