Party General Secretary and State President Tô Lâm&nbsp;also sent a flower basket to the event.PM Hưng highlighted Hải Phòng’s important strategic position in politics, economy, national defence, security and foreign affairs, and lauded the local police force’s notable achievements in crime prevention and public security, as well as in state management, administrative reform and digital transformation, contributing to the development of a disciplined, secure, safe, civilised and modern city.The leader said the title awarded to the department reflects the loyalty, intellect, mettle, and silent sacrifices of generations of the city’s police officers.He pointed out that the country is entering a new phase with renewed momentum and vision, in which safeguarding the nation, maintaining a peaceful and stable environment, and ensuring security and safety are of particular importance.As Việt Nam pursues faster and more sustainable growth, demands for political security and public order are becoming higher and more complex, while deeper international integration brings increasingly diverse risks and challenges, adding to the burden of maintaining security amid expanding development space, he added.Noting Hải Phòng’s role as a strategic hub with rapid urbanisation, industrialisation and deep international integration, the PM said the city handles growing flows of people, goods, capital, data and technology, requiring more accurate forecasting, timely policy advice, tighter management and more effective enforcement.Maintaining security is not only about preserving public safety, Hưng said, but also about safeguarding a strategic gateway and sustaining development momentum for both the region and the country.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://image.vietnamnews.vn/uploadvnnews/Article/2026/5/14/503174_5480227631754561_cndm.jpg" alt=""></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng&nbsp;visits&nbsp;an exhibition showcasing Hải Phòng City police technology products on Thursday.&nbsp;—&nbsp;VNA/VNS Photo Dương Giang</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>For Hải Phòng to match its growing stature and contribute further to regional and national development, local police must continue to affirm its role as the core force in safeguarding national security and maintaining public order and safety, he said.He urged the department to effectively implement the Party and State’s policies, as well as directives from the Ministry of Public Security, on safeguarding national security and maintaining public order, while aligning with development strategies of the nation and the city.The leader stressed the need to uphold the principle of treating political stability and social order as the foundation, with serving development and the public as the highest priority.Hải Phòng is northern Việt Nam’s main maritime gateway and a key logistics, industrial and international trade hub, meaning any security incident could directly affect production and supply chains, the investment environment and the country’s image, he continued.The PM asked the department to renew its thinking and enhance forecasting and strategic advisory work, while closely linking security protection with development facilitation. Security must stay one step ahead, pave the way for growth and safeguard development achievements, he said.The leader called for stronger efforts to combat crime and legal violations, with a focus on organised crime, drug offences, economic crime, corruption, smuggling, trade fraud, environmental crime, cybercrime, scams, human trafficking and illegal lending.

The two sides held an in-depth discussion on strategic and overall issues of shared concern and reached many important consensuses. The strategic guidance of the top leaders of the two Parties and countries is driving the building of a China–Việt Nam community with a shared future onto a fast track of development.The article described China and Việt Nam as friendly socialist neighbours and a community with a shared future that carries strategic significance. In recent years, the top leaders of the two Parties and countries have maintained frequent direct meetings, reflecting what it called the deep friendship of “comrades and brothers”.It said the leadership of a communist party is the most essential feature and biggest strength of socialism, adding that safeguarding the socialist system and the Parties' leadership role is the largest shared strategic interest of both sides.The editorial also highlighted youth as an important force for social progress and the successors to the causes of the two Parties and countries. During the visit, the two leaders met young people from both nations participating in the “Red Study Tour”.

During the trip, they signed multiple cooperation documents covering the economy, supply chains, customs, science and technology, public welfare and human resources development.Against a backdrop of profound global changes, cooperation in building a shared-future community between China and Việt Nam carries major significance for regional and global peace and development, the People's Daily said.It noted that rising protectionism and headwinds facing economic globalisation are negatively affecting countries worldwide. In response, the two countries have chosen open cooperation, jointly oppose unilateralism and protectionism, and are committed to maintaining the global free trade system as well as stable and smooth industrial and supply chains, helping create a more favourable international environment for their development.The editorial concluded that whatever changes occur internationally, China will always regard Việt Nam as a priority in its neighbourhood diplomacy.

All vessels detected via VMS as crossing into foreign waters must be immediately classified as violations and handled promptly based on available data, regardless of whether they have been apprehended.Relevant ministries and agencies were urged to swiftly complete a coordination mechanism, clearly define responsibilities, and make effective use of existing data to enhance monitoring capacity, enable early detection, and prevent acts of IUU fishing from afar.He further instructed relevant agencies to ensure unified and real-time data systems such as the national fisheries database (VNFishbase) and the electronic catch documentation and traceability system (eCDT). Violations related to vessel ownership, registration, identification, and transfer must be comprehensively addressed, with stricter sanctions, including criminal proceedings in serious cases.The Deputy PM also highlighted the importance of tightening traceability processes, closing regulatory loopholes, and enhancing supervision of import–export enterprises to ensure compliance with both domestic laws and international practices.At the central level, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment was tasked with establishing an inter-agency task force and developing a detailed action plan through 2026 to fully implement the EC’s recommendations. Localities were also instructed to set up similar task forces, clearly assign responsibilities, and ensure effective enforcement.Reaffirming Việt Nam’s commitment to responsible fisheries governance, Hà called for coordinated and determined efforts to implement both short- and long-term solutions, with the ultimate goal of having the EC’s “yellow card” warning lifted at the earliest possible time. — VNA/VNS

The city will continue to bring into full play the strengths of the three former localities as hubs of finance, science and technology, hi-tech industry, energy, tourism, maritime economy, and logistics, to boost cooperation with partners worldwide, including Russia.Hà emphasised that Perm’s strengths align well with Hồ Chí Minh City's development needs, particularly in industry and oil and gas services, opening up opportunities for businesses and experts from both sides to enhance exchanges, promote cooperation, and expand investment. In addition to economic, trade, and investment ties, he underlined the importance of stepping up collaboration in culture, education, and people-to-people exchanges.Perm Governor Dmitry Makhonin said Perm is located at the western foothills of the Ural Mountains - the natural boundary between Europe and Asia. Covering an area of 160,600 sq. km., it is one of Russia’s key industrial centres. The Krai boasts strengths in mining, oil and gas, chemicals, machinery manufacturing, metallurgy, defence industry, and high technology. It is also renowned for its rich tradition in performing arts, particularly ballet. Building on these advantages, Perm is keen to promote cooperation with Hồ Chí Minh City in areas of mutual interest.At a separate meeting with Andrey Vadimovich Panteleev, Deputy Governor of Tyumen Oblast, Vice Chairwoman of the municipal People’s Committee Trần Thị Diệu Thúy expressed confidence that Hồ Chí Minh City and Russian localities, including Tyumen, will step up trade promotion, business connectivity, and investment attraction efforts to tap the considerable cooperation potential between the two countries.She proposed that Hồ Chí Minh City and Tyumen enhance cooperation and share experience in the energy industry, oil and gas services, and resource extraction, while intensifying joint efforts to promote tourism potential to residents of both localities.Tyumen, located in Russia’s Ural region, spans more than 160,000 sq.km. With its strategic geographical position covering much of the West Siberian Plain, Tyumen plays a key role in connecting Russia’s major industrial and energy hubs. The oblast holds significant potential for industrial development, particularly in oil and gas and energy-supporting industries. It is also endowed with abundant natural resources, including oil, natural gas, freshwater, mineral water, forests, and various industrial minerals. — VNA/VNS
