Participating in his second consecutive National Party Congress, journalist Nguyễn Hồng Nguyên of Bảo vệ Pháp luật (Law Protection) newspaper said the Press Centre has been organised and run in a safe, systematic and comprehensive manner.

He noted that the centre features many new elements, clearly reflecting the improved efficiency of journalistic operations. This time, particular emphasis has been placed on technical and technological factors, while logistical and technical support for the press has been continuously reviewed and enhanced.

Nguyên also shared his pride and honour in contributing to information dissemination at such a major event for the Party and the nation, helping to convey through articles, photographs and news reports the atmosphere of optimism and hope among the people, as well as the country’s aspiration to rise and develop.

Ensuring security

Over the past several days, police forces have carried out their duty to safeguard security at the congress with the highest sense of responsibility.

Security and safety measures have been implemented comprehensively and in a coordinated manner across all areas, with close attention given to preventing incidents. Forces have conducted inspections, reviews and prepared response plans for potential emergencies.

Identifying the protection of the 14th National Party Congress as a key political task in 2026, the Command of the Guard Force (K01) under the Ministry of Public Security, part of the Congress’s Security Subcommittee, has actively monitored and forecast the situation early and from afar. It has coordinated with functional units to comprehensively survey delegates’ accommodation and daily activities, transport routes and congress venues.

As the core unit in charge of protection, VIP Protection Command (under K01) has worked closely with relevant units to finalise security control plans at the congress hall and all related areas.

According to Senior Lieutenant Colonel Trần Thế Việt, head of the Command, the unit has conducted drills and rehearsals for various scenarios and developed detailed protection plans.

At the same time, elite officers and experienced personnel have been selected and mobilised, with training organised and tasks assigned to specific teams. Forces regularly review, update and refine operational plans, while conducting exercises to ensure security and safety under all circumstances. — VNS
