Binh Phuoc (VNA) - Party General Secretary To Lam had a working session with the Department of Public Security of the southern province of Binh Phuoc on January 5, during which he praised the force's contributions to ensuring security and order for socio-economic development in the locality.
With the contributions from the force, in 2024, the gross regional domestic product (GRDP) of Binh Phuoc reached over 61 trillion VND, an increase of 9.32% compared to 2023. Social investment capital rose by 13.01%, he noted.
General Secretary Lam highlighted that 2025 is an important year in the implementation of the resolutions of the 13th National Party Congress and the provincial Party Congress, as well as a year when the all-level Party congresses towards the 14th National Party Congress, requiring further efforts from the force to serve the events.
The leader urged the provincial public security force to take the pioneering role in streamlining its organisational apparatus, and show strong performance in political and ideological education for officials and soldiers of the force, building a pure, regular, elite, professional, and modern police force.
The force should strengthen administrative reform and digital transformation, while combining security efforts with socio-economic development, promoting the movement of all people joining hands in safeguarding national security, especially in mountainous and border areas, and developing a strong force of communal police.
Noting that Binh Phuoc is a border province with various ethnic minority communities, the Party chief asked the provincial police force to stay close to the people, maintain social order and safety, and ensure security stability. This is essential for fostering socio-economic development and affirming the police as a reliable support for the Party, Government, and the people of all ethnic groups in the region, he said.
On this occasion, General Secretary Lam presented gifts to police officers and soldiers of Binh Phuoc.
Minister of National Defence General Phan Van Giang and Minister of Public Security General Luong Tam Quang also presented gifts to the Military Command and Public Security Department of Binh Phuoc.
