The People’s Public Security Force has contributed significantly to Vietnam’s achievements over the last five years, Politburo member and Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said at the Central Public Security Party Organisation’s sixth congress.
Opening the congress in Hanoi on October 16, General Tran Dai Quang, Politburo member, Secretary of the Central Public Security Party Committee and Minister of Public Security, said despite complex developments in the region and the world during the last five years, the force’s Party Committee has succeeded in fulfilling goals and missions set in the resolution from the Central Public Security Party Organisation’s fifth congress.
The two-day event, attended by 369 delegates representing staff and Party members of the Central Public Security Party Organisation, will review achievements and shortcomings in the implementation of the Party Organisation’s fifth congress resolution while setting up goals and missions for the 2015 – 2020 term.
It will also examine the Central Public Security Party Committee’s leadership between 2010 and 2015 and give opinions on draft documents to be submitted to the 12th National Party Congress, slated for early next year.
In his speech, PM Dung said the force has been completely faithful to the Party, Fatherland and people. It has made active and accurate forecasts and proposed a number of solutions and strategies regarding security, order and socio-economic development to the Party and State, thus helping safeguard national security and sovereignty.
The force has employed comprehensive measures to ensure social security and order, defeat sabotage plots from hostile forces and guarantee complete safety for important political events, he added.
According to the PM, the Public Security Force has been cooperating effectively with ministries, sectors and localities, especially the People’s Army, to step up the ‘All People Protect National Security’ movement. It has also made improvements in the solidification of the Party and People’s Public Security Force.
Underlining major opportunities and challenges facing the country, region and world currently, the Government leader called for national unity to optimise accomplishments, remove flaws and weather difficulties to build and firmly safeguard the socialist nation of Vietnam.
He told the Central Public Security Party Committee to reinforce the force’s complete faith to the Party. The committee should also increase the quality of situation analyses and forecasts, strengthen political security and social order, and fight terrorist and riot schemes, ultimately assuring national security in order to serve the country’s international integration and development.
The Central Public Security Party Organisation must focus on building the Party and a pure, strong and capable Public Security Force, he noted.
The leader also requested that the force expand cooperation with foreign security, intelligence and police forces and organisations on crime and terrorist prevention. It should also learn from its partners’ experience, take part in regional and global security mechanisms, and actively engage in solving global security issues.
Better international cooperation would also help the Public Security Force prevent sabotage schemes and intensify Vietnam’s relations with other nations, PM Dung stated.-VNA
