Both sides agreed that the joint patrol had achieved its objectives effectively, and they reached consensus on future cooperation measures. They also agreed to maintain regular information exchange through correspondence and a hotline system to promptly address arising issues, enhance joint patrols, and strengthen efforts against illegal crossings, human trafficking, smuggling, and other criminal acts. These efforts aim to ensure border security and order, contributing to the reduction of legal violations along the Vietnam–China border.
