In particular, on August 16 and 17, the two units carefully checked a 22.526km-border section from border markers 371 to 372. They also cleared bushes and did the cleanup around the border markers and briefed each other on information related to border protection over the past time.

The two sides evaluated that the joint patrol was conducted in accordance with principles and diplomatic etiquette.

The event aimed to discover violation cases, contributing to maintaining political stability and security and public order along the Vietnam - Laos borderline.
