Speaking at a ceremony in the Vietnamese embassy in Washington, US on August 19, Ambassador Pham Quang Vinh reviewed the history of the public security force and its achievements over the past 70 years, saying that it has contributed tremendously to protecting national security and social order and maintaining a peaceful environment for national construction and development.

In recent years, Vietnamese and US law enforcement agencies have scored a great deal of successes in their cooperation to fight terrorism, drug and cyber crimes.

In his speech, Assistant Secretary of State for International Security and Non-proliferation Thomas Countryman hailed bilateral security links as a significant component of the Vietnam-US comprehensive partnership.
According to him, the bilateral relationship has been growing over the past 20 years, evidenced by the recent visits by Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and US Secretary of State John Kerry.
Highlighting joint security and law enforcement works, including the signing of the 123 agreement on civil nuclear cooperation and the participation in Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI), he vowed continued support to Vietnam in the field, particularly in personnel training.
