The event was held in order to encourage policemen to heighten their responsibilities, overcome difficulties to fulfill the assigned missions, contributing to ensuring absolute safety for senior leaders of the Party and the State as well as high-ranking international visitors.

In addition, the event aimed at calling upon people across the country to cooperate with the traffic police force, to help them complete their missions, contributing to building the image of the Vietnamese people as “friendly, hospitable, and peace-loving.”
