Conference discusses Vietnam-Laos border line

comprehensive and effective cooperation in a number of fields, the
partnership between the two fronts was diversified, contributing to the
consolidation and development of the Vietnam-Laos friendship, including
encouraging residents in border areas to work together to maintain order
along the border line, the conference heard.
The fronts’ guidelines were disseminated amongst the two countries’
residents to increase their awareness of the role of the special
bilateral relations in jointly safeguarding the border.

countries’ border guard forces, foreign ministries, veterans’
associations and women’s unions, security was maintained, while
transborder crime and drug trafficking were effectively controlled.
Participants appreciated the efficient cooperation between localities along the border line.
