The same day, a seminar on the border defence friendship between Viet Nam and China was held in Lai Chau with the participation of the two co-chairmen Gen. Ngo Xuan Lich and Sen. Lt. Gen. Fan Chang Long.

Participants shared their experience in external defence activities, policies to promote cross-border trade, and the establishment of twinning relations between border localities.

The two sides suggested measures to improve the quality and efficiency of border defence cooperation in the future.

Deputy Commander of Military Region 2 Major General Hoang Ngoc Dung said the region has coordinated with Chinese border defence forces to build the shared border line of peace, friendship and common development.

The two sides' armed forces have regularly exchanged information and worked together to ensure social order, safety and security in border areas, especially in preventing crimes and handling cases relating to cross-border farming and migration, he noted.

Major General Zhang Jian from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army said that it is necessary to devise more practical measures in the bilateral cooperation mechanisms such as joint exercises on fighting terrorism and violence and cross-border crimes, while expanding exchanges at the grassroots level./.
