Hanoi (VNA) –
Politburo member and Minister of Public Security Gen. To Lam has written an
article on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the traditional day
of the people’s public security forces (July 12).
The minister affirmed that
over the past 75 years, the public security forces have always been absolutely loyal
to the Party and the Fatherland under any circumstances, foiling all sabotage
plots and activities of reactionary hostile forces, and accomplishing the task
of protecting national security.
In the face of the enemies’ malicious
plot to promote the "peaceful evolution" strategy, the public
security forces have renewed their professional measures, defeated propaganda activities
on pluralism and multi-partyism, and nullified ideological sabotage campaigns,
he affirmed.
In the Doi Moi (renewal) and
global integration era, the public security forces have ensured absolute
security and safety of activities of the Party and State leaders, international
conferences and the country’s important political, cultural and external events.
They stopped and beat every sabotage plot and activity of hostile and
reactionary forces, as well as incitement to separation, terrorism, sabotage and
demonstration that causes social insecurity and disorder. The forces have also
safeguarded State secrets, prevented the phenomena of “self-evolution” and
“self-transformation”, thus ensuring solidarity, unity and protecting the
Party’s leadership role.
Regarding non-traditional
security challenges, the public security forces have effectively protected
cyber security, prevented the formation of opposition political organisations
at home as well as terrorism and sabotage, and effectively dealt with complex situations
related to security and social order, leaving no loopholes for reactionary and
hostile forces to incite sabotage.
As complicated developments
in the regional and global situations are posing great challenges to national
security protection, the public security forces have worked closely with
ministries, agencies and localities to guarantee security and order in the
strategic northwestern, Central Highlands and southwestern regions. The forces have
stopped attempts to take advantage of religious and ethnic issues, disputes and
internal frustrations among the public to sabotage the Party and State.

The forces have firmly
protected national security early and from afar; timely detected, prevented,
drove back and wiped out all threats to national security; protected the
Party’s leadership role, the people’s socialist regime and maintained political
stability and a peaceful environment, the minister said.
Concluding the article, Lam
affirmed that the entire forces will continue upholding their glorious heroic
tradition, keep striving to overcome difficulties and challenges, stay ready to
sacrifice for the cause of protecting national security and firmly safeguarding
national security in any circumstance, thus deserving the trust of the Party,
State and people./.
