Speaking at the ceremony, Vietnamese Minister of Public Security To Lam expressed his hope that the academy will become a major centre for political theory research and teaching of the Lao ministry and country.
He affirmed that the Vietnamese people's police force will always stand side by side with its Lao counterpart in the construction and development of the two countries, ensuring their political security and social order.
Lam said in the near future, the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam will work closely with the Lao ministry to effectively operate the educational establishment, with readiness to collaborate in developing curricula and teaching materials, and sending experts to assist the academy.
