General To Lam, Member of Politburo, Minister of Public Security delivered a speech at the celebration of the Great National Unity Day in Phi Nhu commune, Dien Bien Dong district, Dien Bien province, on November 14.

The event saw the presence of representatives from central, ministries, local authorities, public security units, religious organizations, businesses, as well as local people.

Speaking at the event, Minister To Lam stressed that the event aimed to consolidate and promote the people's mastership as well as strengthen the great national unity bloc and enhance the role of the Vietnam Fatherland Front in the new period.
