Hanoi police celebrate 70th anniversary of traditional day

Minister of Public Security General Tran Dai Quang has urged the Hanoi police force to build on their past achievements and ensure political security and social safety and order while focusing especially on absolute safety at the all-level Party Congresses this year.

Speaking at a ceremony to celebrate the 70 th anniversary of Vietnam People’s Police Force’s Traditional Day and the 10 th anniversary of the “All people protect national security” festival in Hanoi on August 13, Quang hailed the capital’s police force for their meritorious service to national defence and development during wars against France and America and the reform ( doi moi ) period.

Over the past 10 years, the movement calling on the entire country to safeguard national security has also brought fruitful results with various models raising public awareness of the importance of the cause.

Major General Nguyen Duc Chung, Director of the Hanoi Police, said generations of police forces and the Hanoi police in particular have continually dedicated their efforts to the nation with a full sense of responsibility, adding that their successes have glorified the heroic tradition of the Vietnam People’s Police.

The Hanoi police are continuing to accelerate administrative reforms and overhaul working styles to minimise red tape and be friendlier to members of the public.

Every action of the force must put the people’s interest at the fore, he reminded.-VNA
