4. I am very happy to inform to you that the People’s Police Academy of Vietnam is now building an ASEAN Police Exhibition Room, which will display all the aspects of ASEANAPOL Member Countries. It is expected that this Exhibition Room is one of the best place where we can share information related policing fields. In addition, by showing all the items from countries we could learn more about and have better knowledge on the police forces of ASEAN as well as other countries. For those purposes, the invited country are kindly requested to contribute a police uniform (normal working-uniform for man, fully decorated with a cap and peripherals) together with a set of ranking-insignias (ranging from General to Officer) as the gifts for the ASEAN Police Exhibition Room in the People’s Police Academy. This meaningful gift from your country will be honorably exhibited in the Exhibition Room, showing the long-lasting cooperative spirit of the police internationally. Due to the officially opening ceremony of the Exhibition Room will be held together with the Opening of 19^th JASPOC, we highly appreciate the countries could send the above exhibits to our Academy through your Embassy in Ha Noi.
