Lieutenant General Do Can, Deputy Director of the General Department of Politics of the Vietnam People's Army, representatives of the Vietnam Border Guard Command and border guard commands of 14 Northern provinces attended the event.
After two years, the project, under the instruction of the Central Military Commission (CMC), the MND and local authorities, has been implemented effectively in various ways in line with real situations.
Accordingly, hundreds of articles were published. In addition, border guards worked with localities to establish 259 teams to disseminate laws for over 200,000 people. The Vietnam Coast Guard, Navy and military regions also organized dissemination teams on board to provide troops and fishermen with the Law of the Sea of Vietnam and other necessary information. Military units maintained "day of law" and other activities to improve troops’ knowledge of State laws.
At the conference, participants stressed that the project contributed to raising troops’ and public’s awareness of the importance of ensuring political stability and firmly protecting national sovereignty over seas and islands.
Addressing the event, General Chiem acknowledged achievements and great efforts of Northern military units over the past time and asked the localities and units to continue implementing the project effectively in the time to come.
