According to Colonel Kieu Phi Hung, in order to perform well in the 182 km long border area with complex terrain, international border gates and people-to-people relations with Yunnan province, China, the provincial border guard force always focuses on educating officers and soldiers to have a firm grasp of legal documents related to border management. "Only when you have a firm grasp can you advise and mobilize well; otherwise, it will be very difficult to advise and mobilize," Colonel Kieu Phi Hung emphasized.

The Deputy Commander of Lao Cai Provincial Border Guard shared that in implementing border work, the measure of "people's hearts" and relying on people is vital. When the local government and political system are strong, the people trust and are willing to help, then the border guards can complete their tasks well.

In addition to training and combat, Lao Cai province's border guards also carry out many programs with strong humanitarian values, fostering the bond between the army and the people. In the programs "Helping children go to school" and "Adopted children of border guards", the provincial command and the stations join hands to mobilize funds every month to support children in difficult circumstances in the highlands to go to school.

The annual programs of giving seedlings and seedlings to poor households by the border guards have also achieved concrete results. These activities have contributed to strengthening the political system in the border communes of Lao Cai province. People's lives have gradually improved, and the relationship between the people and the border guards has become increasingly close and trusting. This close coordination is the foundation for border management and protection to achieve remarkable results.
