Speaking at a conference held by the Ministry of Public Security
in Hanoi, the Government leader also urged the force to focus on fighting
crimes and promoting the law-abiding spirit during the work.
He tasked the sector with developing personnel and preventing the degradation
in political ideology, morality and lifestyle, and the phenomena of
"self-evolution” and "self-transformation” to build a pure and strong
public security force.
Over the past time, the ministry has fulfilled its role as an advisor to the
Party and the State in developing strategic guidelines and policies regarding
national security, foreign affairs, and national sovereignty and interests, he
noted.
"The public security force has upheld the strength of the entire political
system and society in detecting and preventing sabotage plots and destructive
activities of hostile forces, and fighting crimes,” the leader said.
He lauded the sector’s efforts in Party building and personnel development,
saying many officials who had violated laws were punished.
Meanwhile, many others fell down for national security, he said, noting that
five officers and soldiers died, 90 were injured and 30 were exposed to HIV
while performing their duties.
Their efforts have contributed to safeguarding national security and safety,
and creating a peaceful and stable environment for socio-economic development,
PM Phuc stressed.
However, he said, there remain shortcomings in the sector like the complex
development of crimes like gambling, murders and drug, environment and
high-tech crimes, along with limited results of the firefighting work and
violations of laws committed by a number of officers and soldiers.
