Vietnamese, Chinese border guards meet via webinar
Lao Cai (VNA) – A webinar between border guards of the
northwestern provinces of Lao Cai, Lai Chau, Dien Bien and Ha Giang and a
delegation from China’s Yunnan provincial Immigration General Checkpoint took place on November 23.
At the event, both sides agreed to lift bilateral border defence cooperation
mechanism to a new height. Once the COVID-19 pandemic is under control,
they will continue holding friendship exchanges to share professional

the two nations. Important achievements were made in cooperation mechanisms for
legal enforcement such as joint patrols and joint work to deal with cases.
The Vietnamese side donated
43,500 medical masks and 960 bottles of sanitiser to China. Meanwhile, China
also handed over 46,000 medical masks, 200 protective suits, 30 boxes of
