On June 18, Hanoi City Police held a conference to disseminate and deploy plans to ensure security and safety for Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Vietnam.

Here, the leader of Hanoi City Police said that, based on the actual situation, the units need to focus on means to carry out protection work, ensure maximum mobilization of forces, arrange in all areas where the activities of international delegations take place; assign specific people and tasks, and not let any shortcomings occur that affect the protection work of the delegation.

Units directly involved in protection work must organize, coordinate, and closely cooperate between internal and external protection forces, especially in grasping the situation, proactively and promptly exchanging and providing information in resolving specific situations.

In particular, the traffic police department closely coordinates with the police of districts and towns in implementing traffic safety plans, leading the delegation throughout the delegation's activities in Hanoi; increasing patrols and controls, and implementing plans to clear traffic congestion immediately after the delegation has passed through.

On the same evening, Hanoi City Police announced a traffic diversion plan.
