In 2019, the Department of Internal Security took preventive measures to successfully protect political security, cultural security, ideological security, information and communication security as well as State secrets.

The department also effectively promoted the fight against sabotage plots and activities of reactionary and hostile forces, and defended the Party's ideological basis.

Particularly, the internal security sector implemented various plans to ensure safety and security for important national political, cultural, economic, and social events, as well as international conferences hosted by Vietnam.

At this point, the sector has crafted specific plans to protect Party congresses at all local levels and the 13th National Party Congress, as well as to safeguard trials on political, economic and corruption-related cases.

In 2019, the Department of Internal Security, in coordination with the Department of Security Investigation and local police forces, investigated and handled security-related criminal cases, and prosecuted more than 10 persons involved.

Under the authority of the Minister of Public Security, Lieutenant General Nguyen Khac Khanh awards the Certificates of Merit from the Ministry of Public Security to six units with outstanding achievements.
