2021 is the first year implementing the 13th National Party Congress’s Resolution, he said, underlining the importance of ensuring safety for the people in implementing the Resolution, he said.

Notably, they guaranteed security and safety for activities within the ASEAN Year 2020, AIPA 41, Party Central Committee’s meetings, National Assembly sessions and the 13th National Party Congress.

He asked the force to build and improve protection methods, and apply advanced science and technology in their work, while building the well-trained, modern guard force - a key force in protecting Party and State and important targets.

At the meetings, on behalf of the Party and State, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc also wished that all officers and soldiers of the People's Public Security Forces would be healthy, happy, and successfully complete their assigned tasks.

When the people are enjoying the Tet, the entire Public Security Forces have to stay on duty to maintain security and safety for the people, he said.
