Via those activities, the VCG force has been developing comprehensively with combat readiness, law enforcement, and search - rescue capacity improved; internal solidarity and unanimity sustained; and the solidarity with the people strengthened, thereby creating synergy for the VCG to fulfill all tasks and affirming its stature among law enforcement forces in the region and the world, according to the Vietnamese official.
