Siren sounds and shouts of commands, coupled with thunderous footsteps, suffused the Hanoi Circuit in Nam Tu Liem District.
“The rehearsal has been a result of police officers’ efforts in practicing night and day over the past three months,” said Lieutenant General Long.
Bui Manh Tam, a 21-year-old police officer, said that to prepare for the rehearsal and the upcoming anniversary ceremony, he and other officers had enhanced their persistence and spent all days and nights practicing on the training ground.
“We braved heatwaves and downpours to improve our health and our martial arts skills. Our love for missions and the country encouraged us to overcome all hardships,” Tam said.
