In particular, as Minister of Home Affairs from 1991 to 1996, a period marked by profound global changes that directly affected Vietnam’s path to socialism, the renewal process, and national security, Ngo firmly upheld revolutionary achievements. He led the People’s Public Security force in protecting the Party, the State, and the people, contributing significantly to maintaining the socialist orientation and advancing national renewal.
He also set a shining example of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality, and lifestyle, as well as the “Six Teachings” Uncle Ho gave to the Public Security Force.
In his remarks at the ceremony, Minister of Public Security General Luong Tam Quang affirmed that the People’s Public Security Force always cherishes and is grateful for the enormous contributions of late Minister Bui Thien Ngo and other predecessors, whose dedication is a source of pride and an invaluable spiritual asset of the force.

At the ceremony, on behalf of Party and State leaders, General Secretary Lam presented the title to a representative of Ngo’s family in recognition of his great contributions to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation.
