Since the pandemic broke out, thousands of Party members and troops of the Vietnam Border Guard Command have left their families and lived in border posts to patrol and manage open trails and border gates to prevent the virus from entering the country.

Despite difficulties, border troops in Northern localities, especially Party members, have fulfilled all assigned missions thanks to their absolute trust in the leadership of the Party, indomitable spirit, and resolve. They are shining examples of loyalty, endurance, enthusiasm, and a vanguard spirit.

Below are photos of border troops performing their tasks during the COVID-19 pandemic.
