Over the past years, the MPS Office has given strategic advice to the Public Security Central Party Committee and the MPS's leadership, helping MPS leaders issue sound policies and directions for the Public Security Forces to effectively implement their tasks. In order to implement the State's policies of international integration, the MPS Office actively grasped situations in the region and world and promptly advised its upper levels to address various important issues and strategies on foreign affairs.

Addressing the event, Minister To Lam praised the effort of the whole staff-work sector over the past time. 

He also emphasized that the global and regional security situation will see complicated developments in the coming time, which poses more challenges to the Public Security Forces and the staff-work sector in particular. Therefore, he asked the sector to improve its advisory capacity and consolidate its apparatus to better perform the assigned tasks, contributing to maintaining a peaceful and stable environment for the country’s socio-economic development. The MPS Office should exert more efforts to successfully fulfill all assignments as the leading staff-work agency of the Public Security Forces, the Minister added.
