Troops watched lion dance performances and joyfully participated in “con” (small ball made from pieces of colorful cloth) throwing, tug-of-war, boat rowing on land, ringtoss, and sack race, among others. The games attracted the active participation of officers and soldiers. 

Earlier on February 9, agencies of the Vietnam Coast Guard Command organized cultural activities to create joyful atmosphere during the lunar New Year for troops. Those activities have helped troops, who are celebrating New Year away from home for the first time, feel happy and secure to perform their tasks. Thanks to activities, troops have been clearly determined with their responsibilities and honor of being on duty during the lunar New Year 2024.

Below are photos of New Year celebration activities of coast guard troops:
