The Ministry of Public Security Office for UN Peacekeeping Operations held an inauguration ceremony for Vietnam Police Peacekeeping Unit No. 1 in Hanoi on Thursday.
The launch of the unit is aimed at making more contributions to ensuring security and safety for UN personnel and assets, protecting civilians, and aiding other UN peacekeeping operations.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Deputy Minister of Public Security Luong Tam Quang affirmed that the decision to set up the police peacekeeping unit demonstrates the Vietnamese Party, state, and ministry’s commitment to proactively and responsibly joining efforts to maintain peace, stability, and development in the region and the world.
The establishment is a new move following the success of Vietnam in sending working groups to UN peacekeeping missions abroad and is expected to further contribute to protecting regional and international security, as well as the basic principles of the UN Charter, Quang said.
Senior Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Van Nam, commander of Vietnam Police Peacekeeping Unit No. 1, said he and other unit members are so proud of the country’s long-standing traditions and will make significant contributions to maintaining peace and security in the world.
