Concluding the meeting, General Chien requested them to enhance organizing exchange programs and proactively coordinate with the neighboring countries’ border guard forces to follow situations and share information, contributing to raising the effectiveness of border management and protection, illegal entry and exit prevention, as well as COVID-19 control.

Also, General Chien asked the Vietnam Border Guard Command, in association with local authorities and relevant forces, to tackle illegal entry into Vietnam while fostering information dissemination among local people to detect border crossings.
