During the program, officers, soldiers and local people joined volleyball matches, a banh chung-making event, a cooking competition themed “Meal in border areas,” and a flower arrangement competition. These interesting activities created a bustling atmosphere in the border area to welcome the lunar New Year - the year of the Snake, bringing joys to all participants.
Attentively, the cooking competition saw many ingredients produced by local troops and people, helping border people feel confident to overcome difficulties, boost production, and develop economy of the border locality.
Also in this program, participating units gave free health check-ups, health consulting, and medicines as well as gifts to 200 impoverished people.
This practical program helped improve local people’s living standards, promote good qualities and traditions of border people, foster the troops-people solidarity, and build more prosperous border locality.
