Addressing the meeting, Minister Luong Tam Quang underlined the importance of diplomatic work in the context of rapid, complex and unpredictable developments in the world and the region, stressing that the current situation requires more synchronous and effective coordination among ministries and sectors, particularly between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security.

He also called on them to actively promote cooperation between Vietnam and other countries on security industry, and effectively implement diplomatic measures to ensure social order and safety, and safeguard national security from afar.
