Together with preserving President Ho Chi Minh’s body and ensuring security at the mausoleum, Ba Dinh Square, and Martyrs’ Monument, General Cuong urged the unit to considerately serve domestic and international visitors who come to pay homage to President Ho Chi Minh and fallen soldiers.
He added that the unit should cooperate with other forces to closely follow situational developments to deal with circumstances in a timely manner; practice combat readiness scenarios; foster dissemination of COVID-19 pandemic-related information; take COVID-19 prevention and control measures; and prepare forces, vehicles, and equipment to effectively respond to the pandemic.
