Lai Chau Border Guards – A trusted bridge between Party, State and ethnic minorities in border areas
As a mountainous province with a long border line, rugged and fragmented terrain, and still-challenging living conditions for ethnic minorities like Lai Chau, the role of the Border Guard Force is both sacred and heavy with responsibility. They are not only soldiers safeguarding every inch of the Fatherland’s sacred territory, but also devoted “sons” who live, work and develop alongside local people at the country’s frontier.
