HÀ NỘI –  General Secretary of the Communist Party of Việt Nam Nguyễn Phú Trọng has called on public security officials to continue following the teachings of late President Hồ Chí Minh to build a strong and transparent force. 
He made the statement in a letter sent to a scientific workshop held in Hà Nội yesterday, and delivered by Senior Lieutenant General Tô Lâm, Minister of Public Security. 
The Party leader recognised the efforts of the police over the past seven decades to defeat all plots and activities of hostile forces in addition to preventing crime and ensuring national security, social order and safety in any circumstances. 
He stressed the significance of the workshop and hoped the event would make practical contributions to the protection of national security, social order and safety. 
The event forms part of activities to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the movement of “Public Security Force follow six teachings of Uncle Ho” (March 11, 1948) and the 70th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh’s call for a patriotic emulation campaign (June 11, 1948). 
During the workshop, participants analysed theoretical and practical values of President Hồ Chí Minh’s teachings to build and strengthen the Party, and promote public supervision in the field. 
Concluding the workshop, Minister Tô Lâm asked the police force to define the continuous implementation of Uncle Hồ’s teachings as a political task in order to build a strong public security staff in terms of politics, ideology, organisation and morality. 
Uncle Hồ’s six golden rules for the public security force are: “For myself, to be frugal and have integrity; For colleagues, to help with kindness; For the government, to be absolutely loyal; For the people, to be respectful and polite; For the work, to be devoted; For the enemy, to stand firmly against them.”-VNS
