The Cuban Ministry of Interior hosted a ceremony in Havana on August 17 to celebrate the 70 th anniversary of the Traditional Day of the Vietnam People’s Police Force (August 19).

In his speech, Vietnamese Ambassador to Cuba Duong Minh reflected on the history of the Vietnam People’s Police Force and its 70 years of achievements in safeguarding national independence, sovereignty, security; cracking down on corruption, smuggling, economic and criminal offences; and search and rescue efforts in disaster-hit areas.

He thanked the Party, State and people of Cuba, including the Cuban Interior Ministry, for their dedicated support to Vietnam’s anti-US war and the current national development and believed that the fraternal ties between the two countries would reach a new height for the benefit of the two peoples.
