Hanoi (VNA) – A new book authored by Party General Secretary To Lam was unveiled at a ceremony in Hanoi on February 3, shining a spotlight on the dignity of Vietnam's revolutionary public security officers.

Co-hosted by the Ministry of Public Security, the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Information and Education, Commission for Mass Mobilisation and Office, and the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, the event was to celebrate the 95th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (February 3), the 80th anniversary of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (September 2), and the 80th anniversary of the People's Public Security Force (August 19).

The 766-page book, presented in a 24cm x 16cm format, features a foreword by the People's Public Security Publishing House and 80 carefully selected articles, speeches and interviews drawn from over 500 writings by General Secretary Lam. The book is further enriched by 71 vivid photos capturing Lam’s visits and working sessions with public security units nationwide during his tenure as Secretary of the Central Public Security Party Committee and Minister of Public Security.

Divided into five chapters, the book offers a profound reflection of Lam’s unwavering ideological approach to creatively applying, developing and safeguarding Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh Thought, alongside the Party’s policies and guidelines, in the cause of protecting national security, ensuring social safety and order, and building a truly clean, strong, disciplined, elite and modern People's Public Security force in close combination with national defence and diplomatic tasks, while effectively contributing to the country’s socio-economic and cultural development, proactive global integration, national unity, and Vietnam’s growing standing on the global stage.

It provides a wealth of materials and a scientific framework that guides research, theoretical development, practical summary, staff training, and the preservation of the force’s glorious revolutionary traditions.

Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang hailed the book as a guiding compass for the entire People's Public Security force in its mission to combat threats and build a stronger force in the years ahead.

He stressed that the book sets a crucial task for local Party committees and authorities at all levels to manage national security and order protection. Moreover, it serves as a beacon of inspiration, motivating patriotism and encouraging the public to actively engage in the cause of safeguarding the nation and maintaining security and order.

To maximise its reach and impact, Quang called on Party committees, leaders and commanders of the force at all levels to distribute its contents far and wide./.

Continued efforts made to nurture love for homeland through mother tongue

From language classrooms and community activities to digital platforms, Vietnamese is being preserved through increasingly diverse approaches. More than a means of communication, the mother tongue carries memories, culture and affection for the homeland. Ensuring that Vietnamese remains naturally present in the daily lives of overseas Vietnamese is therefore an important way to nurture their lasting bond with the Fatherland.
