The patrol teams salute the border marker.

Heads of the two teams check the condition of the border marker.

The patrol offered an opportunity for the two sides to detect and handle violations of border regulations in a timely and effective manner, contributing to protecting security and safety along the shared borderline, maintaining political security, social order and safety in the border areas.   

Despite unfavorable weather conditions and dangerous terrains, the patrol teams carefully checked the status of the system of border markers from 406 to 408 along the Vietnam-Laos borderline. They concluded that the border signs and border markers along the shared borderline remained intact and safe.
