The program was connected online with the Border Guard Commands of 44 provinces and cities, and border guard stations on islands and in remote and mountainous areas across the country.

The top legislator praised significant contributions of the border guard force to the country’s achievements in 2023, especially in firmly protecting territorial sovereignty, border, sea and island security and closely coordinating with relevant sectors and forces, and local authorities to promptly and effectively handle issues related to border and territorial sovereignty and prevent violations in the country's territorial waters.

Mr. Hue urged the force to seriously implement the Party's directives and resolutions, the State's policies and laws on the task of ensuring national defense and security.

Chairman Hue underlined the requirements for the border guard force to  properly implement Treaties, Protocols, Agreements, and regulations related to territorial border, border management and protection, and border gates signed between Vietnam and neighboring countries.
