75th anniversary of Uncle Ho’s six teachings for Public Security force celebrated

A ceremony was held in Hanoi, on March 6 marking 75 years of the public security force’s implementation of President Ho Chi Minh’s teachings.

The event, held by the Central Public Security Party Committee of the Ministry of Public Security, was attended by Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.

Speaking at the ceremony, the Party leader congratulated the people’s public security force, on its achievements over the 75 years of following President Ho's six teachings.

The Party chief stressed that the determination to implement and follow the six teachings must be shown in concrete actions; strong efforts and political resolve; and the spirit of thinking big, acting bold, and daring to take responsibility, for the sake of common interests.

Learning the six teachings means fostering the revolutionary morality and the style of a true revolutionary, which should be made a regular and daily task of each public security officer, he noted.

At the ceremony, President Vo Van Thuong presented the first-class Fatherland Protection Order to the people’s public security force, in honour of its prominent achievements.

In a letter sent to Hoang Mai, Director of the Public Security Department of former Region 7, on March 11, 1948, then President Ho Chi Minh outlined the virtues of a revolutionary public security officer: “To oneself, be hardworking, thrifty, incorruptible and forthright; to colleagues, be cordial and helpful; to the Government, be loyal; to the people, respect and be polite; to work, be committed; to the enemy, be resolute and smart.”
