Border troops and locals wrap chung cakes.

In this year’s program and festival in Huoi Thung 1 village of Na Co Sa commune, border guards wrapped more than 200 Chung cakes for local families with adversity in life.

In addition, both troops and locals also enjoyed an interesting artistic program, and played folk games, which helped consolidate the close ties between troops and people. The festival became a truly military-civilian solidarity festival ahead of the lunar New Year 2021.

During the program, the border post also presented gifts to 11 heads of villages in the commune. Each gift included a pair of Chung cakes, a calendar, a national flag, and a portrait of Uncle Ho. The post gave gifts, including cakes, candies, and VND 3 million to two local needy students. It also prepared a New Year’s Eve meal for the villagers.

This lunar New Year, the border post plans to wrap nearly 500 Chung cakes to give to disadvantaged families in Pac A 1 and Huoi Thung 1 villages.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Van Dai, Head of Na Co Sa Border Post, the “Border spring for locals” program and the green Chung cake festival show the care of the border guards for local policy beneficiary families and poor households. These activities contribute to tightening the military-civilian ties and are gratitude towards locals who have always been side by side with border guards and local Party committees and authorities in managing and protecting national borders and maintaining political security, social order and safety in border areas.
