Vietnamese PM Chinh calls for proactive approach to Public Security

Hanoi, The Gulf Observer: Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasised that the public security forces need to take a proactive approach to thoroughly understand and forecast the situation, effectively preventing any unforeseen challenges in terms of strategy, political security, and social order and safety throughout 2024.

He made these remarks while attending the 79th conference of public security held by the Central Public Security Party Committee and the Ministry of Public Security on Wednesday.

The two-day conference, chaired by General To Lam, Politburo member, Secretary of the Central Public Security Party Committee, and Minister of Public Security, focused on evaluating the results achieved in 2023 and outlining tasks of the public security forces in 2024 to meet the requirements of the new situation.

In his opening speech at the conference, General Lâm stated that the conference takes place amid the entire Party, people, and military’s continued efforts and determination to effectively implement the resolutions of the 13th National Party Congress, as well as the resolution of the 13th Party Central Committee’s 8th plenum on the homeland protection strategy in the new situation.

He stressed that 2024 holds special and significant importance as it is a year of acceleration to lay the groundwork for the successful realisation of the resolutions of the 13th National Party Congress, the National Assembly’s resolution on the five-year socio-economic development plan, and the 7th Central Party Committee Congress of the Central Public Security Department in 2025. It is also the starting year for preparations for the 14th National Party Congress.

In addition, the global and regional situation in 2024 is predicted to become more complex, posing difficulties and challenges for the tasks of the People’s Public Security forces, he added.

Speaking at the conference, PM Chinh commended the achievements and contributions of the officers and soldiers of the People’s Public Security forces, affirming that they have played an excellent advisory role to the Party and the State in political, economic, social, security, and diplomatic areas.

They have contributed to maintaining political stability, serving economic development, ensuring public order and safety, expanding foreign relations, and creating a peaceful, secure, and stable environment for development, he said.

PM Chinh said the public security forces are at the forefront, playing a crucial role and providing inspiration for ministries, branches, and localities in administrative reform, building an e-government, and promoting national digital transformation.

Expressing deep gratitude to wounded soldiers and families of martyrs, PM Chinh requested units and localities to perform well in policies for those with contributions, taking care of the lives of the families of officers and soldiers who have bravely fought and endured hardships to achieve many outstanding achievements.

The Prime Minister attributed the achievements mainly to the public security sector’s serious compliance and close adherence to the leadership and direction of the Party, the management of the Government, and the Prime Minister.

He acknowledged the efforts and endeavours of the entire People’s Public Security forces, the close and effective coordination with ministries, localities, and international partners, and the support of the people.
