In the face of extensive international integration, intensive development of the fourth scientific and technological revolution and numerous threats, the Vietnamese Public Security Forces have successfully applied various approaches and tools, including diplomatic measures, to firmly protect national security.

Senior General Nguyen Van Thanh emphasized that international delegates at the conference focused their discussion on terrorism risks. He suggested that the Vietnamese Public Security Forces should learn lessons and experience from the Russian security agency in identifying terrorists. He asked relevant Vietnamese public security agencies and units to creatively apply them to their work in line with the Vietnamese situation.
