Colonel Nguyen The Khanh, Political Commissar of the Ka Lang Border Post, stated that through the presentation of national flags and portraits of President Ho Chi Minh, the unit hoped to contribute positively to broadening public education among ethnic communities in the border area; encourage more people to participate in safeguarding national sovereignty and border security, and foster patriotism and national pride among the border population.
Ka Lang Border Post is assigned to manage and protect more than the 15.2-kilometer borderline across eight ethnic villages of Thu Lum commune, including Marker No.18 (2) at the headwaters of the Da River.
Previously, the Lai Chau provincial Border Guard Command presented 6,468 national flags and portraits of President Ho Chi Minh to residents of 81 ethnic villages across 11 border communes, Lai Chau province.
Senior Colonel Nguyen Van Hung, Political Commissar of the Lai Chau provincial Border Guard Command, affirmed that the national flag and President Ho Chi Minh’s portrait are profoundly familiar images to every Vietnamese citizen. In particular, the national flag symbolizes the nation’s soul, the people’s will, and the enduring solidarity of the great family of Vietnamese ethnic groups. It is also the most sacred symbol, demonstrating the revolutionary enthusiasm and heroic sacrifices of countless generations of Vietnamese soldiers and people, in the struggle against invaders to secure independence and freedom for the Fatherland.
