Following policies and guidelines of the Party and State and regulations of the Ministry of National Defense, the corps has implemented foreign defensive affairs, and regularly organised visits and exchanges, and provided assistance in socioeconomic development to contribute to strengthening friendship and cooperation between Vietnam and Laos and Cambodia, added Sy.
Speaking highly of the unit's outstanding development and growth in all aspects, Thuong said that it has helped turn a large amount of land with many remnants of war into a large coffee and rubber growing area, thus contributing to building a border of peace, cooperation, friendship and development.
