Speaking at the event, Colonel Nguyen Van Thong called on the border guard troops in the province to respond to the tree-planting festival.
Moreover, the units should promote information dissemination among their troops about the importance of tree-planting and encourage them to plant more trees to beautify their barracks and build a green, clean, and attractive compound.
After the ceremony, the provincial border guard troops planted 50 Dipterocarpus alatus at the training ground of the provincial Border Guard Command.
