The event was attended by representatives from the A Pa Chai border station and Sen Thuong border station of the northwestern province of Dien Bien, the police department of Nhot Ou district, and Phongsaly province in Laos, and the border management authorities of China’s Jiangcheng district and Pu’er city.

The meeting was based on the agreement of high-level cooperation among the Vietnamese Ministry of Defence, Lao Ministry of Public Security, and Chinese Ministry of Public Security, and the minutes signed among the border guard forces of the three nations.
