In the second quarter of 2023, the two sides regularly organized activities to raise awareness of border residents of disease prevention and control, compliance with signed agreements on border and border gate management, cooperation agreements and laws.
They maintained an information exchange mechanism and have exchanged five letters on issues related to the border line, markers, construction activities in border areas, and border fence; and the outcomes of the enforcement of border management regulations.
Patrols to protect borders and landmarks were regularly organized, contributing to effectively fighting against illegal entry and exit activities, and ensuring security and order in border areas.
In the time to come, the two sides will continue to strictly implement three legal documents on the border; step up communication activities to raise public awareness of the land border between Vietnam and China; further strengthen bilateral meetings, talks and patrols under the border guard cooperation agreement signed between the two countries’ Defense Ministries.
They will also maintain and promote effectively the mechanism of information exchange via mail, telephone hotline in order to promptly notify each other of the situation related to the implementation of border management regulations; and actively cooperate to promptly solve cases arising in border areas shared between the two countries, contributing to improving the efficiency of border management and protection.
