Addressing an inauguration ceremony for the guard force’s Traditional House in Hanoi on August 19, Mr Triet noted that the police, including the guard force, have fulfilled their tasks of maintaining public security and safety and staunchly defending the fruits of the revolution.  

He said that the police have kept pace with the country’s social progress, making a positive contribution to the cause of national development during the Doi Moi (Renewal) process.

He praised the guard force for its loyalty, hard work and tireless efforts to protect senior officials and key agencies of the Party and State and to ensure the proper handling of domestic and foreign affairs.

President Triet suggested that the Ministry of Public Security pay more attention to educating young generations about the glorious tradition of the force to accomplish its political duty.

The Traditional House, built at Le Hong Phong Street, Hanoi, displays more than 400 items connected with the establishment and development of the guard force during the past decades.
