The city’s police department stated it will actively combat the exploitation of Vietnam’s integration policies and dynamic development by transnational criminal organizations. Specifically, officials are focused on preventing the establishment of international fraud rings within the city. This commitment follows concerns about increasing criminal activity linked to foreign nationals leveraging the city’s economic growth. Authorities emphasized a firm stance against allowing any individual or organization to abuse the open environment for illicit purposes. The crackdown aims to maintain public safety and protect the city’s reputation as a secure business and tourism destination. Increased vigilance and enforcement measures are expected to be implemented.
