The UN’s decision confirms comprehensive readiness across organizational structure, personnel strength, command and staff functions, and proven operational capability demonstrated through on-site assessments and inspections.

Attaining Level 3 places VNFPU1 in a more proactive position within the UN’s force generation and allocation mechanism, increasing the likelihood of early deployment to key mission areas.

As a result, the voice and experience of Vietnam’s police forces are expected to have a broader impact, contributing directly to security stabilization and the strengthening of the rule of law in host countries, while reinforcing bilateral and multilateral security cooperation.
