These are extremely favorable new conditions for the Association of Former People's Police Officers, a core member of the Vietnam Fatherland Front , to increase its contributions and promote the strength of national unity to build a prosperous, thriving, civilized, and happy country.
The General Secretary and President expressed agreement with the directions, goals, and action programs set forth by the Congress; clearly demonstrating the spirit of unity, loyalty, exemplary conduct, innovation, development, and continued promotion of the revolutionary nature of the police force, successfully fulfilling the tasks assigned by the Party, State, and Fatherland Front, and serving as the core force in the nationwide movement to protect national security.
The General Secretary and President emphasized that the Association of Former People's Police Officers at all levels must first and foremost truly be a common home that fosters camaraderie and solidarity among former police officers and those who have contributed to the cause of protecting security and order.
According to the General Secretary and President, the Association of Former People's Police Officers is an organization that brings together former People's Police officers, mostly retired police officers. More than anyone else, the association at all levels must be a place to care for the health, material, and spiritual well-being of its members, especially those in difficult circumstances. At the same time, it serves as a bridge to facilitate active coordination and support from the police force, Party committees, local authorities, and the Fatherland Front, so that the association at all levels truly becomes a pillar of support for its members, especially during difficult times.
The General Secretary and President stated that Resolution No. 18 and Resolution No. 22 of the 3rd Plenum of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam on building a disciplined, safe, civilized, harmonious, and developed society, and the National Security Strategy, set very high goals for forming a self-contained order, a culture of respect for the rule of law, and building the people's trust in the Party, fostering patriotism to become a new resource for building and defending the Fatherland.
These are very important resolutions, and members of the Association of Former People's Police Officers must actively put the Party's policies into practice. Generations of former People's Police officers, with their political acumen, prestige, experience, knowledge, and practical skills, need to pay special attention to political and ideological education, raising awareness among the people in their communities, refuting erroneous and hostile viewpoints, and truly becoming a "propitious banner of correct ideology" in their communities, spreading what is good and right, and overshadowing what is bad and negative.
The General Secretary and President welcomed the Ministry of Public Security's timely issuance of Directive No. 08 on the new coordination regulations to facilitate the activities of the Association of Former People's Police Officers. This ensures that the Association receives attention and support in its development and operation at all levels, while also proactively mobilizing and promoting the role and contributions of former People's Police officers in mass mobilization work, building the nationwide movement to protect national security, and building a revolutionary, professional, elite, and modern People's Police force.
The General Secretary and President urged each member of the Association of Former People's Police Officers to continuously cultivate and uphold the revolutionary qualities of a police officer, proactively and actively study and practice Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and style, and the Six Teachings of Uncle Ho to the People's Police, truly serving as a shining example in their place of residence for younger generations of police officers, the youth, and the entire population to learn from and emulate.
