Over the years, the Son La federation has effectively maintained coordination with its Lao counterparts, while working closely with the Border Guard force to disseminate information and encourage trade union members and local residents to strictly comply with regulations on border and marker management and protection, contributing to building a border of peace, friendship, cooperation, and development.
