Lang Son (VNA) - The inauguration ceremony of a road leading to border marker No. 962 was held in Quoc Khanh commune in Trang Dinh district of the northern province of Lang Son on November 22.
The project is a meaningful activity to mark the 80th founding anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (December 22, 1944- 2024) and the 35th anniversary of All-People’s National Defence Day (December 22, 1989 – 2024).
The road, which stretches over 1,900m long and 1.2m wide, is within the border area managed by the Po Ma Border Guard Station under the Lang Son Border Guard Command. Construction of the project began in early May this year with the efforts of more than 1,500 officials and local residents of Trang Dinh district, and border guard officers and soldiers. It has a total investment of over 1.8 billion VND (70,800 USD) and was put into use after six months.
Speaking at the ceremony, Lieutenant General Nguyen Anh Tuan, Political Commissar of the Vietnam Border Guard, highlighted the construction of the road as a practical initiative which exemplifies the effective mobilisation of resources, enthusiastic participation, and responsibility from various sectors, political and social organisations, and the community.
Colonel Trinh Huu Tang, Political Commissar of the Lang Son Border Guard Command, said that over the past two years, the province has successfully raised over 40 billion VND, hundreds of tonnes of materials and over 30,000 work days to build 189 concrete roads leading to border markers to ensure safety when conducting patrols./.
