He also noted that the complicated developments of the pandemic caused challenges and difficulties for the forces in conducting border protection and management as well as preventing illegal border crossings.

Therefore, border guards should take more responsibility and strictly observe the directions of higher levels to accomplish the dual-tasks of border management and COVID-19 prevention and control.

On this occasion, the delegation also toured and presented gifts to troops on duty at COVID-19 checkpoints at the border posts of Pha Long, Nam Chay and Ban Lau under the provincial Border Guard Command.
