PEOPLE'S POLICE FOR THE PARTY, FOR THE PEOPLE

The term of the 7th Central Party Congress of the Public Security (2020-2025) is a successful term, marking many milestones in the 80-year history of the establishment, fighting, growth and development of the People's Public Security Force. Throughout the past 5 years, the world and regional situation has had many rapid, widespread, and complicated developments, with issues beyond forecast and unprecedented. Domestically, many difficulties and challenges from natural disasters, epidemics to supply chain disruptions, international trade competition, tax policies, etc. have significantly affected socio-economic development. However, with strong will, under the wise and correct leadership of the Central Executive Committee, the Politburo, and the unanimous support of the people, we have focused on accelerating, breaking through, and continuing to resolutely and decisively carry out the innovation process, typically the revolution in arranging and streamlining the organization of the political system; implementing the two-tier local government model, restructuring the socio-economic development space. As a result, we have fundamentally resolved the difficulties and obstacles to complete and exceed the targets and objectives set by the 13th National Party Congress, including the important and noteworthy contributions of the People's Public Security Forces.

The Central Public Security Party Committee and the entire People's Public Security force have been exemplary and taken the lead in implementing the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress. In particular, the Central Public Security Party Committee is considered the "flagship" in implementing Resolution 18 of the Central Executive Committee on "continuing to innovate and reorganize the political system to be streamlined and operate effectively and efficiently". The strategic advisory function to the Party and State on political security and social order and safety has been raised to a new level. The country's security, territorial sovereignty and political position have been firmly protected, creating positive changes in social order and safety, creating a turning point in security governance and management, creating a peaceful, secure, safe and stable environment and space for people across the country. The Party Committee of the Public Security has basically fulfilled the goal of building a People's Public Security force that is "truly clean, strong, disciplined, elite, modern, meeting the requirements and tasks in the new situation" as set out in Resolution No. 12, dated March 16, 2022 of the Politburo. Digital transformation, overcoming the consequences of natural disasters, and eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses are also bright spots that the People's Public Security force has achieved during the 7th Central Party Congress of the Public Security Ministry. The above results are not only vivid proof of the absolute loyalty of the People's Public Security to the Party, the Fatherland, and the People, but also provide practice, create a foundation, motivation, and inspire implementation for the entire political system.

Closely following and effectively implementing the Party's policies and guidelines on national security protection, the People's Public Security force has promoted its leading and core role in keeping "at peace inside and out", affirming Vietnam's position among the most peaceful and secure countries in the world, attracting international friends and partners to befriend and do business with Vietnam. At the same time, the Public Security force always promptly grasps emerging trends and issues in international relations, and experiences, technology, and advanced knowledge of mankind to help the Party formulate appropriate policies in the goal of building and developing the country.

Under the leadership of the Party, the Public Security force has successfully fulfilled its role as a frontline force in preventing and fighting the Covid-19 epidemic, while at the same time creating a miracle in building a National Population Database, opening a new chapter in security and order management in a modern direction, reforming administrative procedures to the maximum, creating the greatest convenience for people and businesses. Crime has been continuously controlled and reduced year by year; drug-free communes, typical and exemplary wards in terms of security and order in our country are increasing in number; traffic safety and fire safety have had many innovations, both creating development and consolidating social order, discipline, safety and health, people have happier lives, and human security is enhanced and ensured.

International cooperation on security and order, together with international cooperation on defense, has become a pillar in the relationship between Vietnam and many countries; active participation in the United Nations peacekeeping force, international search and rescue; political trust from the results of security and order cooperation has created conditions for expanding and developing cooperation in many other fields, contributing to "making more friends, fewer enemies", consolidating the relationship between Vietnam and other countries to become increasingly deep, comprehensive and effective.

The image of the People's Public Security officers and soldiers, the force participating in protecting security and order at the grassroots level, is always present in key, difficult and dangerous places, sacrificing themselves to protect the lives and property of the people; at all times and places with the spirit of "when the people need, when the people have difficulty, there is the police" affirming the effectiveness of studying and following the ideology, morality and style of Ho Chi Minh and the Six Teachings of Uncle Ho to the People's Public Security; continuing to strengthen the solidarity and close relationship between the Public Security and the people, building a people's security posture, a people's security foundation associated with a national defense posture, a national defense foundation on the basis of a solid "people's heart posture", strengthening the people's trust in the Party, the State and the socialist regime.

After a term with many remarkable marks, many miraculous results, turning points, and innovative thinking, the Central Party Committee of the Public Security has led the entire People's Public Security force to "surpass itself" for the Party and the people, with remarkable growth and maturity, firmly affirming the role of "sacred sword", "steel shield" to protect the Party, protect the people and the socialist regime, shining with the qualities of a revolutionary Public Security officer.

New developments in the world and regional situation; traditional and non-traditional security issues with a series of contemporary issues have a direct and multifaceted impact on national construction and development, in which difficulties and challenges continue to increase. Hostile and reactionary forces are trying to take advantage of loopholes and shortcomings in the initial stage of operating the 2-level local government model and the implementation of Party resolutions in recent times to sabotage, distort, cause division and disunity within the Party, and they are even trying to sabotage the success of the 14th National Congress of the Party.

Our Party shouldered the historic responsibility, leading the entire Party, the entire people, and the entire army to successfully implement the two strategic goals of 100 years under the Party's leadership, 100 years of the country's founding, and by the middle of the 21st century, our country would become a developed, high-income country. The highest and consistent goal today is "peace, stability; rapid, sustainable development and improvement of all aspects of the people's lives", so that the people can truly live in Independence - Freedom - Happiness. The People's Public Security must be one of the core forces to implement these goals.

The requirements and tasks of building and defending the Fatherland in the new revolutionary period pose a very glorious responsibility for the People's Public Security force. Regardless of the circumstances, the People's Public Security must be absolutely loyal to the Party, the Fatherland and the People; closely attached to the people, thoroughly grasping the viewpoint that "the people are the root", the people are the center and subject of all policies, strategies, security and order work, always imbued with and implementing the motto "The People's Public Security forgets itself for the country, serves the people". Continue to take the lead in gratitude movements, build schools, provide medical care and support for the people, especially for the poor and ethnic minorities in remote areas.

Identifying the highest goal of security and order assurance work in the coming time to strongly innovate thinking, raise the level of all aspects of work to be determined to achieve, that is not only to maintain a peaceful and stable environment, maintain security and order, build a society of order, discipline, and safety, but through security and order assurance work, it must also contribute significantly to creating, promoting, seizing opportunities, creating all favorable conditions for the successful implementation of the Party's strategic goals; protecting security and order must create the foundation for the success of sustainable and high-quality development.

Proactively grasp and accurately assess the situation, smoothly and closely combine tradition and modernity, strengthen the protection of the Party, the socialist regime, and the People, absolutely do not allow passivity or surprise; focus on identifying and firmly protecting security in new spaces and fields (national digital sovereignty, border economic security, cyber security, information security and data security in the digital transformation process). Closely coordinate with the People's Army, the diplomatic sector, and the Departments, Branches, and localities to maintain a peaceful and stable environment in all situations.

Continue to sustainably reduce crime, build crime-free and drug-free communes/wards, creating a foundation for building socialist administrative unit models. Build an orderly, disciplined, safe and healthy society, strengthen the spirit of "rule of law" and awareness of law compliance among the people, strengthen human security, for a peaceful and happy life for the people.

Expand international cooperation on security and order, proactively create a security belt, effectively resolve challenges that threaten security and national interests early, from afar, from outside the territorial borders, establish a comprehensive security posture at home and abroad. Increase the contribution of the People's Public Security force in maintaining international peace and security; ensure that wherever national interests, ethnic interests, and legitimate rights of the people go, security and order must be protected.
