At the ceremony, Prime Minister Le Minh Hung under the authority of the State President awarded the Ho Chi Minh Order to the Social Order Administrative Management Police Force and the First-Class Fatherland Protection Order to the Police Department for Social Order Administrative Management.
Recalling key milestones of the force in the past 80 years, the Prime Minister emphasized that, since its establishment, the force has played a core role in advising the Government and the Ministry of Public Security on breakthrough policies in state management of security and order, as well as in executing its function of state management of security and order, contributing to promoting a safe environment for socio-economic development.
In recent years, under the leadership of the Public Security Central Party Committee and the MPS, the force has achieved significant milestones in national digital transformation, particularly through the development of the National Population Database, chip-based citizen identification, electronic identification and authentication systems, and the effective implementation of Project 06.
These big results, he noted, have marked a fundamental transition toward digital governance and modern public administration, reducing administrative procedures, saving time and costs for people and businesses.
Regarding its missions in the time to come, the Prime Minister requested the force to continue maintaining its core role in digital transformation and contribute to modernizing the country’s governance and the national administrative system.
On behalf of the Public Security Central Party Committee and the MPS leadership, Deputy Minister Nguyen Van Long pledged that the force will continue to implement comprehensive digital transformation, enhance the application of science and technology, and shift from a management-oriented approach to a service-oriented model, thereby contributing to the efficiency of crime prevention and control.
