The sacred duty of border guards during the Tet holiday

Part of their work is checking the status border landmarks planted on the border between Vietnam and Cambodia.

The guards say this is a sacred task they undertake every day.

Long An borders SvayRieng and PrayVeng provinces of Cambodia, with a total length of 133km, of which two thirds lie on land.

Long An has Binh Hiep international border gate, My Quy Tay national border gate, three auxiliary border gates, along with a number of trails and open crossings with Cambodia.

The Long An Border Guard Command dispatches teams patrolling along the border every day.

In addition to patrolling the border, local border guards create the best possible conditions for people to across the border for trade exchanges and relatives visits.

They pay special attention to entry and exit procedures at border gates to ensure security along the border.

Inspection has been enhanced, especially during the Tet holiday.

The border guards in collaboration with relevant agencies facilitate customs clearance at the international border gate.

Cambodians wishing to enter and celebrate Vietnam’s traditional New Year festival are also given assistance at the border gate.

The Tet festival is in full swing, but the border guards of Long An province put aside their personal joy and happiness to take on duty for national security and for the people’s happiness.
