Border guards welcome lunar New Year in distinguished ways

Before Tet, border posts nationwide launched annual meaningful activities entitled “Tet for the poor” and “Border spring for locals” during which a number of Tet gifts and chung cakes were presented to needy people in the areas where the posts are stationed.

Leaders of these posts also paid due attention to ensuring a happy and safe Tet for their troops at their barracks.

PANO would like to introduce photos featuring border troops’ activities during Tet.
