The event also provided an opportunity to comprehensively review equipment, technical systems, and supporting tools, ensuring the highest level of readiness under all circumstances, while strengthening coordination and joint operations among participating forces.

In his directive remarks, Head of the Sub-committee for Organizational and Service Affairs of the 14th National Party Congress Tran Cam Tu acknowledged and praised the efforts made by the public security forces in preparing for the protection of the congress. He noted that the security and public order situation may continue to face complex developments and potential risks in the time ahead, and the force must continue to uphold its core role, closely coordinate with the Vietnam People’s Army, strengthen measures to safeguard political security and social order, maintain discipline, stay closely connected to local areas, prevent acts of sabotage or disturbance, and mobilize the combined strength of the people and authorities at all levels to ensure the successful organization of this important political event.
