Coordination between all levels and sectors will be promoted, helping to ensure absolute safety for key projects, important political and cultural events, as well as protecting the security of senior leaders, international visitors, and international conferences held in Ho Chi Minh City.

Measures to prevent, detect and handle crimes will be strongly implemented, protecting security and order right from the grassroots.

State management of security and order, especially for conditional business lines and establishments at risk of crime, will be strengthened. At the same time, patrol and control activities in the area have also been promoted to promptly detect and handle violations of the law.

Lieutenant General Le Hong Nam emphasized that the implementation of this campaign is not only to protect security and order but also contributes to creating a beautiful image of Ho Chi Minh City in the eyes of international friends and people nationwide.

Mr. Duong Ngoc Hai - Permanent Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee emphasized that the work of ensuring security and order and social safety during these important occasions requires close coordination from forces and the cooperation of the whole society to successfully organize events, thereby affirming the image of Ho Chi Minh City as a safe and developed destination in the eyes of international friends and people nationwide.
