Dung also pointed out existing challenges faced by the country, including an increase in crimes related to drugs, terrorism, and women and child trafficking, which according to him require the police’s serious consideration to propose sound measures that will resolve them.

He asked the sector to pay due attention to the Party and forces building, considering it a decisive factor to successfully implement its political mission.
