Vietnam is deploying helicopters and tanks as well as 5,200 heavily-armed commandos to ensure social orders in the capital city of Hanoi during the upcoming 12th National Congress of the ruling Communist Party of Vietnam, state media has reported.
The Ministry of Public Security and the units of the Vietnam People’s Army belonging to the Hanoi High Command will be responsible for ensuring absolute security for the event, which is slated on Jan 20-28 during which the communist party will select its leadership for the 2016-2021 period.
Last week, Minister of Public Security General Tran Dai Quang declared the mobilization of the armed forces to protect the congress which takes place every five years.
The forces also held live drills in My Dinh stadium, not far from the National Congress building where the party’s National Congress will be held. During the drill, security forces conducted exercises to deal with coup and terrorist acts as well as to cope with massive demonstrations of people armed with wooden bars.
This is the first time Vietnam is mobilizing heavily-armed units to protect the party’s conference in the country’s 76-year history, signaling stronger measures to deal with rising social dissatisfaction.
Meanwhile, Vietnam continues to verbally protest China’s violations of its waters and air space. State media has reported that along with sending military spying ships in Vietnam’s waters and coastline, China has also sent a number of airplanes in Vietnam’s air.
China has also sent military and civil airplanes to Chu Thap Island (Fiery Cross) in Vietnam-claimed Truong Sa (Spratlys) in the East Sea (South China Sea) despite strong protest from Vietnam. Recently, Beijing announced that it completed the second airstrip in the archipelago where it has built a number of artificial islands.
Vietnam and China have overlapping claims of sovereignty on Truong Sa and Hoang Sa (Paracels) while Taiwan, the Philippines and Malaysia also partly claim the second archipelago.
China militarily invaded Hoang Sa and partly Truong Sa from Vietnam in the 1956-1988 period.
