Hải Phòng's security forces honored as national heroes for a decade of service
Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng has honoured Hải Phòng City’s Department of Public Security with the title 'Hero of the People’s Armed Forces'. The award recognises the department’s exceptional work in protecting political security and social order over the past decade. The ceremony highlighted the force’s role in maintaining stability in a city of major national importance. Hải Phòng serves as northern Việt Nam’s primary maritime gateway and a vital hub for logistics, industry, and international trade. Its strategic position in politics, economics, defence, and foreign affairs makes security a top priority. The city manages increasing flows of people, goods, capital, data, and technology, demanding precise forecasting and strong enforcement.
The local police have played a key part in shaping Hải Phòng into a disciplined, secure, and modern urban centre. Their efforts have supported the city’s growth while ensuring public safety and order. The Prime Minister stressed the need for continued vigilance against organised crime, drug trafficking, economic offences, and cyber threats. As the country enters a new phase, safeguarding national security and stability remains critical. The Department of Public Security must reinforce its position as the leading force in protecting the nation. Their work is essential for preserving peace and supporting regional and national development.
The 'Hero of the People’s Armed Forces' title reflects a decade of dedication from Hải Phòng’s security forces. Their ongoing mission includes tackling emerging threats and upholding public order in a rapidly evolving environment. The recognition also underscores the city’s broader role as a secure gateway for trade and growth.
