According to PM Phuc, leaders of the force should promote political and ideological education, educate the heroic traditions of the Public Security Forces and revolutionary morality, and improve professional skills for intelligence officers. They should build a contingent of intelligence officers with firm political stance, steadfastness and absolute loyalty to the Party, Fatherland, and people. Public security intelligence officers should always be ready to sacrifice their lives for the Party and nation’s revolutionary cause, and have a sharp vision and good qualifications, meeting the requirements of both short- and long-term tasks.
