The PM made the request at a ceremony in Hanoi marking the 80th anniversary of the traditional day of the Criminal Police force under the Ministry of Public Security (April 18).
He highlighted the need to modernise operations through greater use of science and technology, and to build a synchronised, secure infrastructure.
“The Criminal Police force must take the lead with a strong sense of responsibility and discipline to sustainably reduce crime through early, proactive prevention from afar and from the grassroots level. It is also essential to further promote the nationwide movement ‘All people protect national security’ in crime prevention and control,” said Mr. Hung.
The PM also called for expanding international cooperation in crime prevention and control, enhancing the global standing of Vietnam’s Criminal Police, and effectively implementing international conventions and agreements on mutual legal assistance and cooperation in crime prevention.
At the ceremony, PM Hung, on behalf of Party and State leaders, presented the Ho Chi Minh Order to the Criminal Police force.
