HÀ NỘI — Member of the Party Central Committee and Minister of Public Security, Sen. Lt. Gen. Lương Tam Quang recently wrote an article highlighting great contributions by Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng to the cause of national security protection and social order and safety assurance.

The article said Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng is a talented, steadfast, and exemplary leader of the Party and State, a shining example of great personality, industriousness, intelligence, humane character, tolerant and compassionate heart, who has dedicated his life to the goals and ideals of the Party and the happiness of the people. He is beloved, respected, and highly regarded by the people and admired by international friends.

According to the article, the life of Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng is closely tied to the glorious and prideworthy renewal cause of the Party and people. He continuously studied and followed the ideology, morality, and lifestyle of President Hồ Chí Minh, and always exemplified pioneering and exemplary character and preserved the solidarity and unity of the Party, and his love for compatriots and comrades, thus consistently strengthening the close relationship between the Party and the people, and promoting the great national solidarity.

The Party leader steadfastly and creatively applied Marxism-Leninism and Hồ Chí Minh’s thought, firmly adhering to national independence and socialism, and the policy of Đổi Mới (Renewal).

Along with the Party Central Committee, he supplemented and perfected the Party’s theory of innovation, socialism, and the path to socialism in Việt Nam, thus connecting ideologies and actions throughout the entire Party, the entire people and the entire military to successfully implement the resolutions, directives, and conclusions of the Party Central Committee, helping Việt Nam have the unprecedented “potential, fortune, position and international prestige” today.

For safeguarding national security and ensuring social order and safety, one of the consistent viewpoints in comrade Nguyễn Phú Trọng’s strategic guidance thinking is to firmly grasp the situation, absolutely not to be passive or surprised, especially in terms of strategy; create clear changes in social order and safety for the peaceful and happy life of the people; always maintain and strengthen the Party’s leadership “regardless of circumstances and conditions”, and be steadfast in the principle that the People’s Public Security must always put itself under the Party’s absolute and direct leadership in all aspects. This is an objective and inevitable requirement for the mission of safeguarding security and order.

He has also paid attention to directing the work of building and perfecting laws on security and order. The leader repeatedly emphasised that under the Party’s leadership, the Party’s policies and viewpoints on tasks related to security and order must be institutionalised through legal documents and implemented through state management mechanisms.

To ensure that the people’s public security force successfully fulfils all political tasks, worthy of being a reliable support of the Party, the State, and the people, Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng, who is also a member of the Executive Board of the Central Police Party Commission, has paid special heed to directing the work of building a truly clean and strong People’s Public Security force.

The Party leader emphasised the requirement to strengthen political and ideological education, cultivate communist ideals, and enhance the study of Marxism-Leninism and Hồ Chí Minh’s thought, considering building political integrity and absolute loyalty to the Party and the nation as the goal of education and training.

He advised the People’s Public Security force to always remember, engrave in their mind, and implement the mottos “For the sake of the country and people, forget yourself”, “One will remain if the Party remains”, and “Honour is the most noble and sacred thing”. Police officers and soldiers were required to constantly follow and uphold the six virtues that Uncle Hồ taught: upholding pioneering, exemplary, and responsibility for the Party and the people; always keep themselves pure and steadfast; and under no circumstances should one abuse power to infringe upon the democratic rights of the people.

The reality of the revolution showed that the Party leader clearly recognised the great role of the people in the cause of security and order protection. He always reminded the People’s Public Security Force to stay close to the people and win their increasing trust and have their increasing support.

The minister stressed that the force must keep in mind President Hồ Chí Minh’s teachings to always serve the people and rely on the people, while staying loyal to, respecting and showing love to the people, as well as listening to the people and protecting their interest. The Party chief stressed the need for solidarity and close coordination between the force and the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) like two wings of a bird, thus protecting and maintaining peace, stability for national development.

Under the leadership of the Party and State, thoroughly understanding and implementing the directions and teachings of the Party leader, the whole People’s Public Security Force has been a solidarity bloc with unity in will, ideology and actions, while remaining strong solidarity with the VPA, ministries, sectors and localities as well as international partners, promoting the glorious tradition of the force, overcoming all difficulties and completing all assigned tasks.

The achievements and victories of the force were recognised by Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng, who affirmed that “at any time, even when it is difficult or challenging, the People’s Public Security force has always shown absolute loyalty to the Party, the Fatherland and the People; steadfastly performing well the function of advising the Party and State, closely coordinating with sectors and localities, especially closely coordinating and synergising with the Vietnam People’s Army to firmly protect the national independence, sovereignty and maintain national security, social order and safety, safeguarding the peaceful life of the people, and creating a peaceful and stable environment to build and develop the country.”

The instructions delivered by Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng for the cause of protecting national security and ensuring social order and safety will continue to be promoted by the People’s Public Security force in all fields of work, thus fighting and building a truly pure, strong, regular, elite, and modern force. Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng is a shining example for generations of People’s Public Security officers and soldiers to respect, study, practise, and follow forever. The images of the leader – a true communist with a kind heart, who devoted his life for the country and the people – will remain forever in the minds of the people and officers and soldiers of the People’s Police force. — VNS
