In addition, they should review contents and build plans to implement the program effectively, while closely working with units and local authorities to promptly prepare for the exchange with absolute safety.

The third Vietnam - China young coast guard officers exchange with the theme “Joining hands to protect maritime environment” is scheduled to take place in August. In the framework of the exchange, many activities will be organized, such as paying courtesy calls on leaders of the General Department of Political Affairs of the Vietnam People’s Army and the Vietnam Coast Guard Command; visiting Coast Guard Region 1 and touring Coast Guard ship; planting trees; presenting gifts to people in the fishing village in Lap Le commune, Thuy Nguyen district, Hai Phong city; sharing experience in law enforcement at sea, sports exchange, and a gala night.

The event aims to enhance and deepen the sound cooperation between the two forces, making the relationship between the Vietnam Coast Guard and the China Coast Guard more practical and effective, paving the way for boosting cooperation activities at higher levels between the two sides in the time to come.
