Ho Chi Minh City’s border guards patrol to safeguard sovereignty and security

Ho Chi Minh City’s border guard force is tasked to manage the area with numerous seaports, rivers, and canals. This area is bustling with trade, production, and business activities, which pose risks of maritime accidents and various types of crimes.

Therefore, the city’s border guards have pro-actively overcome difficulties, actively conducted patrols, and promoted management to firmly protect the national sovereignty and security at sea. They have also effectively carried out search and rescue operations, combating crime, and promoting law enforcement.

Below are photos of the city’s border guards performing tasks.
