Deputy Minister Pham The Tung emphasized that the police peacekeeping force should demonstrate the highest level of determination, deserving its role as a pioneering and exemplary unit in implementing the emulation movement “Three Bests,” thereby contributing to enhancing the image of Vietnamese public security officers in the eyes of the people and international friends.
