Gen. Luong presents gifts to the Quang Binh provincial Border Guard Command. |
Gen. Luong urged the unit to promote their core role in combating crimes and illegal acts along the borderline, cooperate with other forces to handle defense and security issues, effectively carry out mass mobilization activities, replicate production and hunger elimination and poverty reduction models, foster dissemination, and mobilize locals to join the efforts in safeguarding sovereignty and security in border areas. The external border work should be effectively carried out to build a borderline of peace, friendship, stability, cooperation, and development.
The Quang Binh provincial Border Guard Command is tasked to manage and protect areas along the Vietnam - Laos borderline. Although it is stationed in a complicated area with a large number of ethnic minority population, the unit has closely followed and accurately forecasted situational developments and applied measures to prevent crimes and illegal acts in a timely and effective manner, contributing to ensuring local political security and public order. The province’s border guard force has also organized law dissemination and education programs and provided legal assistance to troops and people in border areas.
