South Korea presidential security service signs protection MOU with Vietnam police ministry

The Presidential Security Service said it signed a memorandum of understanding with Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security on April 22 (local time) to strengthen cooperation in protection and security, on the occasion of President Lee Jae-myung’s state visit to Vietnam.
 
PSS chief Hwang In-kwon and Vietnamese Public Security Minister Luong Tam Quang held the signing ceremony at the Presidential Palace, with Lee and To Lam, Vietnam’s Communist Party general secretary and state president, in attendance, the service said.
 
Under the MOU, the two agencies agreed to step up cooperation on protection support during visits by the two countries’ heads of state, expand personnel exchanges, provide commissioned training and share protection-related information.
 
Luong said the agreement shows mutual trust in security cooperation and voiced confidence that ties between the ministry and the PSS would deepen and produce tangible results.
 
Hwang said he hopes the MOU will make a practical contribution to bilateral friendship, noting South Korea and Vietnam are in a “comprehensive strategic partnership.” He said he expects protection cooperation between the two agencies to advance to a deeper and more effective stage.
