Vietnamese, Lao public security ministries bolster cooperation
Hanoi (VNA) - Minister
of Public Security General To Lam hosted a reception in Hanoi on March 5 for
Khonsi Naovalat, head of the Lao Ministry of Public Security's representative agency in Vietnam.
Minister
Lam congratulated NaoValat on being appointed head of the representative agency, and wished that he would fulfil all tasks on
his new position.
As the
situation in the world and the region continues to undergo complex developments
with many unpredictable and instable factors that directly impact national
construction and defence in each country, the two ministries should
bolster their cooperation in order to firmly protect national security,
and maintain social order and safety in each country, he said.
According to Lam, the
two ministries have maintained close coordination and support each other in
crime prevention and combat as well as at multilateral cooperation forums.
Security and order in each country are guaranteed while the positions of
Vietnam and Laos are recognised by the international community.
The minister proposed that the Lao official, in his new position, will continue to promote the outcomes obtained by the two
sides and closely coordinate with agencies of the Vietnamese Ministry of
Public Security to effectively deploy collaboration programmes and plans between
the two ministries.
For
his part, Naovalat
hailed the fruitful co-operation between the two ministries in recent times,
especially in crime prevention and combating to ensure security and
order in each nation.
He affirmed that,
in his new position, he will continue to work as a bridge, contributing to fostering the special friendship between the two countries as well as
between the two ministries for the benefit of
the two countries' people./.
