At the event, delegates discussed the importance of the press to the national security protection and the public security force building, reviewed the outcomes of the cooperation between the two sides and proposed measures to improve their cooperation in the time to come.
Addressing the meeting, General Lam expressed gratitude to the cooperation of press agencies, asking the affiliated public security forces to closely team up with press agencies in disseminating the Party’s guidelines and the State’s policies and laws. In addition, he urged the public security force to create favorable conditions for reporters and journalists and ensure their rights and interests when performing their tasks.
He hoped the press agencies and journalists will continue supporting the public security force in orienting the public opinions and protecting political security and social order, especially in preventing the “peaceful evolution” strategy of hostile forces, stopping phenomena of “self-evolution” and “self-transformation” inside the force and discovering plots, tricks and activities of hostile forces and crimes, in the time to come.
