Dear comrades!
On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Traditional Day of the People's Public Security Staff Force, I cordially send to all leaders, generals, officers, and non-commissioned officers of the People's Public Security Staff Force through various periods and the families of the comrades the warmest feelings and best wishes.

With the important contributions of the People's Public Security Staff work, the Party and State's guidelines, policies, and laws on security and order are increasingly perfected, contributing to firmly protecting revolutionary achievements, maintaining the country's position in the world's leading group in security and safety; building a society of order, discipline, safety, and health; building a revolutionary, regular, elite, and modern People's Public Security force. The great achievements and results of the People's Public Security Staff force have been recognized by the Party, State, Ministry of Public Security and People, and awarded many noble prizes.
