Border troops in charge of COVID-19 control receive gifts

Tet gifts presented to the Border Guard Post of Tay Trang International Border Gate

At present, the Dien Bien provincial Border Guard Command manages 69 COVID-19 prevention checkpoints and teams along the 28km borderline with Laos. The Border Guard Post of Tay Trang International Border Gate runs five checkpoints and teams.

At the visit, Senior Colonel Trung presented gifts to troops and their children. He acknowledged and applauded their achievements over the past time, contributing to upholding security and order in border areas and effectively controlling COVID-19.

The border post’s troops showed their high determination to overcome difficulties to accomplish their assigned missions and improve the quality of the border work.

To ensure a happy lunar New Year (Tet) for troops, the border guard post carries out Tet policies for troops and makes a plan to organize a program entitled “Border guards for locals” during which troops will wrap chung cakes for  nearly 100 local families.

Troops of checkpoint in Na U village receive Tet gifts

During the inspection, the mission visited on-duty troops at checkpoints in Na U and Pung Bua villages in Na U commune, Dien Bien district. These checkpoints are far from the district center and troops have to work in adverse conditions, such as no clean water, no electricity, and no 3G data service. However, troops always raise their high sense of responsibility to fulfil their tasks.

The same day, the mission visited and presented gifts to the Party Committee and authorities of Na U commune, during which officer Trung thanked the host and local people for their support for border guards.

He hoped that the locality will continue to be side by side with the border guards in maintaining security and order in border areas and increasing COVID-19 prevention and control, contributing to tightening the close ties between troops and people.
