Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung granted the Military Exploits Order, first class,
to MPS Minister General Le Hong Anh, Deputy Minister Sen. Lieut. Gen. Nguyen Van
Huong, and Deputy Minister Lieut. Gen. Bui Van Nam.

One unit and four individuals were awarded the Military Exploit Order, second
and third class while two units and nine individuals received the Exploits Order
and other four units and 26 individuals were granted the PM’s Certificate of
Merit.

These awards are to acknowledge and honour the achievements of the MPS in
ensuring national security and implementing special working plans serving the
Party and State’s foreign affairs. One of the highlighted achievements was the
C509 case involving the reactionary organisation led by Le Cong Dinh, Tran Huynh
Duy Thuc, Le Thang Long and Nguyen Tien Trung.

This was an especially serious case in violation of national security as well as
the existence, stability and strong development of the political institution of
the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, which took place at a time when hostile
forces were increasing “peaceful evolution” activities targeting Vietnam.

Speaking at the ceremony, PM Dung affirmed that the police forces have fulfilled
their important tasks of protecting national security and maintaining social
order and safety.

They have firmly grasped the situation and taken the initiative in fighting and
preventing all “peaceful evolution” schemes and activities, ensuring security in
all aspects, he said.
