Despite holding a strategic position in defense and security, border areas face numerous challenges due to harsh terrain and high poverty rates. In response, the national target program on building new-style rural areas and sustainable poverty reduction has been synchronously implemented. Highlights include the universal health insurance policy and temporary and dilapidated housing removal, helping ethnic minorities access healthcare services and settle down.
Ho Pheo, 75, a reputable person in Ka Ai village, Dan Hoa commune, Quang Tri province, shared that thanks to special priority policies on healthcare, housing, and vocational training, locals’ lives are increasingly flourishing. He believes that after the 14th National Party Congress, the Party will continue to issue many policies directed toward compatriots in border areas.
In bringing these policies to life, the Vietnam Border Guard force plays a crucial role as a solid fulcrum. Through models such as “Paving the way to school for children,” “Adopted children of border posts,” “Green-rank teachers,” and “Green-rank doctors,” border guard officers and soldiers have directly contributed to raising literacy levels and caring for people’s health. The image of soldiers living, eating, and building houses together with locals has become a symbol of the close-knit military-civilian solidarity.
Tangible changes, from health insurance cards to new houses, have firmly consolidated ethnic minorities’ trust in the Party, State, and military, thereby building a strong people’s heart posture in the Fatherland’s borderlands.
