The Cao Bang and Lang Son provincial Border Guard Commands sent hundreds of troops to help local residents overcome the consequences of a hailstorm and took measures to prevent the infection of coronavirus (nCoV).

Speaking at the event, General Chien hailed the force’s achievements in task implementation during the Lunar New Year holidays, especially in organizing Tet activities for people in localities where they are stationed.

He asked border guard units to soon deploy missions for the Lunar New Year with a focus on protecting sovereignty and security in border areas, managing border gates, preventing crimes, and enlisting youths. The force’s commander urged them to make preparations for the assessment of the Draft Law on Border Guard by the National Assembly’s Committee for Defense and Security and the 6th Vietnam-China Border Friendship Exchange.  

In the context of the complicated development of coronavirus in China and other countries and territories, General Chien asked departments and agencies under the Border Guard Command to direct provincial border guard commands to take effective preventive measures.
