At the working session, the communes and border guard stations reported that since the beginning of the year, territorial sovereignty, border security, political security, and social order in Long Phieng, Phieng Khoai, and Yen Son communes have been maintained and strengthened. The system of borderlines, national markers, and other border infrastructure has been properly managed, protected, and preserved in its original condition. Unit leaders have regularly conducted on-site combat training exercises, ensuring readiness for border protection missions.

The communes have also promoted communication and mobilisation efforts to encourage residents to strictly comply with the Vietnam–Laos Border Regulations Agreement; maintained cooperation in the management and protection of borderlines and national border markers; strengthened friendship relations; and effectively implemented the twinning model between villages on both sides of the border, specifically between Long Phieng, Phieng Khoai, and Yen Son communes and villages of Xieng Kho district, Houaphanh province of Laos.

During the working trip, the delegation inspected sections of the borderline and several national border markers in Phieng Khoai commune; reviewed and surveyed the planned site for a border crossing at Marker 235 in Keo Muong hamlet, Phieng Khoai commune; and visited, encouraged, and presented gifts to officers and soldiers of Chieng Tuong Border Guard Station and Chieng On Border Guard Station, as well as the Keo Muong Border Checkpoint.

Speaking at the meeting, Hau requested border guard stations and border communes to strengthen legal dissemination and education for officers, soldiers, and border residents. He emphasised the need to proactively grasp local situations, effectively manage and safeguard border sovereignty and security; maintain and coordinate unilateral and bilateral patrols and inspections to protect borderlines, national border markers, and other border structures; and continue to build on achieved results, sustaining the village-to-village twinning models along the border.
