Vietnam Former People's Public Security Officers Association Enters a New Term
Established on August 16, 2023, the Vietnam Former People's Public Security Officers Association brings together retired officers of the People's Public Security Force. The Association seeks to uphold the Force's traditions, strengthen solidarity and comradeship among former officers, and continue contributing to the maintenance of national security and public order, as well as the development and defence of the Fatherland.
Following its inaugural 2023–2026 term, the Association has progressively consolidated and expanded its organisational structure, establishing a three-tier system with more than 150,000 members. It has also strengthened its role in the nationwide movement to safeguard national security, community engagement activities, and the education of younger generations about the country's revolutionary traditions.
The Association's Second National Congress for the 2026–2031 term took place on October 2 and 3, 2026. The Congress reviewed the achievements of the previous term, established priorities and tasks for the new period, and consolidated the Association's leadership structure. It elected a 61-member Executive Committee and a 19-member Standing Committee. Senior Lieutenant General Le Quy Vuong, former Deputy Minister of Public Security, was re-elected President of the Association.
At the Congress, Party and State leaders emphasised the importance of former People's Public Security officers in preserving the Force's traditions, participating in the nationwide movement to safeguard national security, and strengthening the close relationship between the People's Public Security Force and the public. These priorities also provide important guidance for the Association's activities during its new term.
