The general emphasized that as the country enters a new era of development, safeguarding national border sovereignty early and from afar, while maintaining a peaceful and stable environment in border areas, is of strategic importance to socio-economic development and national defense and security consolidation.
The deputy defense minister urged the Vietnam Border Guard Party Committee and local authorities to strictly implement relevant directives at all levels, pay due attention to building a strong all-people border defense posture, and develop a regular, elite, and modern border guard force. He requested pro-active coordination in advising on border policies and laws, effectively handling border and territorial issues, and resolutely fighting crimes, such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, illegal entry and exit, and illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing violations. Furthermore, he highlighted the need to enhance defense diplomacy and border guard diplomacy linked with people-to-people diplomacy to consolidate friendship with neighboring countries.
