BEIJING, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- Chinese State Councilor and Minister of Public Security Zhao Kezhi has asked the country's public security and special police forces to improve their emergency response.
Zhao made the remarks while watching a national combat-condition drill in east China's Shandong Province Saturday.
Zhao said the forces must unswervingly uphold and strengthen the absolute and comprehensive leadership of the Communist Party of China over public security work, reinforce the police ranks at primary level and place more focus on combat and practical skills in training.
He also told public security and special police forces to maintain a state of combat readiness, hone their professional skills and carry on their valiant and tenacious conduct to ensure a safe and stable environment for celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
