Delivering a speech at the commemoration ceremony, General Luong Tam Quang, Member of the Political Bureau, Secretary of the Central Party Committee of the Public Security Ministry, and Minister of Public Security, stated that 80 years ago, on February 21, 1946, President Ho Chi Minh signed Decree No. 23/SL unifying police organizations nationwide, establishing the "Vietnam Public Security Service," and stipulating the tasks of the police. Among these, intelligence work was identified as the first task: "Searching for and gathering information and documents related to national security, whether internal or external." This is a historically significant event, marking the birth of the People's Public Security Intelligence force.
Since its establishment, under the care, guidance, and training of President Ho Chi Minh, and the comprehensive leadership and direction of the Party, directly the Party Committee of the Central Public Security and the leadership of the Ministry of Public Security, the People's Public Security Intelligence force has continuously matured and developed. For the past 80 years, regardless of the circumstances, the People's Public Security Intelligence force has always been absolutely loyal to the Party, the State, and the people, closely connected to and wholeheartedly dedicated to serving the people. They have proactively and strongly reformed their thinking, organization, and working methods, silently achieving many outstanding accomplishments and victories in the struggle for national liberation and the cause of national construction and development.
During the national liberation struggle, the People's Public Security Intelligence force contributed to protecting the revolutionary government, effectively serving the resistance wars against France and the United States, protecting the cause of building socialism in the North, liberating the South, and unifying the country. In the period of reform, the People's Public Security Intelligence force promptly advised the Party and State on many policies and measures to promote relations between Vietnam and major countries and countries in the region, proactively integrating into the international community, gradually enhancing Vietnam's prestige, role, and position, creating a favorable environment for the cause of national construction and defense, and making significant contributions to the country's industrialization, modernization, and economic development.

General Luong Tam Quang, Minister of Public Security, emphasized that the country is entering a new era with a new development space, creating new opportunities and prospects, but also facing many risks and challenges. This context places very glorious but also extremely heavy demands and tasks on the People's Public Security force in general, and the People's Public Security Intelligence force in particular. The People's Public Security Intelligence force will continue to innovate, constantly strive, dare to think and act, and resolutely and proactively improve the quality of each aspect of its work to be worthy of its role as a crucial and especially reliable armed force, a sharp instrument of the Party and the State; continue to be a pioneer, exemplary, maintain its integrity, and in any circumstances always remain absolutely loyal to the Party, the Fatherland, and the people, ready to accept and resolutely complete all assigned tasks.
