The bust “Uncle Ho and border guards” is adapted by the sculpture “Following the nation” by Vu Trong Khoi featuring Uncle Ho caringly asking the border guard to show high determination to defend the country while the border guard attentively listening to each word of the state leader.

This is a significant structure to help educate troops about the national tradition. It is also an address for border guards and local people to report their achievements to Uncle Ho.

The work also reminds each border guard officer and soldier about promoting solidarity, determination to overcome all difficulties to firmly safeguard the nation’s territorial sovereignty and border security, uphold local political security, social order and safety as well as build a border of peace, friendship, cooperation and development.
