Minister To Lam said that the CM12 Plan gave a decisive blow to reactionary and hostile forces, defeating their attempt to connect domestic reactionaries and foreign hostile forces to use armed forces to wage a "war of destruction in many aspects" in Vietnam.

The victory of the People's Police Forces in the CM12 Plan was of great strategic significance as it demonstrated the excellent professional expertise of the Public Security Forces on one hand, and laid a brilliant milestone in the heroic and glorious tradition of the Vietnamese People's Public Security Forces.

Recognizing and appreciating the exceptionally outstanding feats of arms of the forces participating in the CM12 Plan, the Party and State conferred the title of Hero of the People's Armed Forces on two subunits and three officers of the Public Security Forces, as well as many other noble awards on other subunits and officers.
