The meeting was organized in an online form, connecting 25 border units in cities and provinces having the border.
In the year 2020-2021, the national sovereignty and border have been firmly protected while social order and safety in border areas and at border gates have been basically stable.
Attentively, the border protection force has well coordinated with relevant forces to manage and defend the border, enforce legal documents on the border, effectively fight and prevent criminal activities and illegal immigration, and control COVID-19 pandemic, to name but a few.
Despite a number of newly-arising factors that have directly affected the border management and protection, the border guard forces of provinces having land border have closely followed the leadership and direction of the Central Military Commission and Ministry of National Defense to drastically and comprehensively apply measures to manage and firmly safeguard the territorial sovereignty, borderlines and national land markers, and detect, prevent, and deal with cases occurring in border areas in a timely manner and in accordance with border-related agreements and meeting political, professional, legal and foreign relations requirements.
The border guard force has also effectively implemented the "dual task," which has been highly praised by the Party, State and people, contributing to building a border of peace, friendship, cooperation and development.
Apart from achievements, participants also pointed out shortcomings and drew lessons to better the land border management and defense.
In order to proactively and firmly protect national sovereignty and border security, and promptly fix shortcomings, as well as improve the efficiency of the border management and protection in the time ahead, the Vietnam Border Guard Command’s affiliated agencies and units need to continue to embrace and strictly and effectively implement the Party’s guideline, the State’s laws and policies on the border, including the Law on Vietnam Border Guard, the "Strategy on national border protection,” among others.
