The patrol was conducted under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Kim Xuan Giang, Commander of the Lung Cu Border Guard Post, and Major Luu Dung, Head of the Chinese delegation. The two sides met, exchanged information on the security situation in the border area, and coordinated joint patrols along the border section from Marker 424 to Marker 426. The forces jointly carried out patrols, protected, and ensured the integrity of the national border marker system.

In reality, the border markers remain steadfast, reflecting the stability and development of the communities on both sides of the border. The people in the border region not only live and work stably but also actively participate in border protection, strictly adhering to agreements and legal documents related to the border between the two countries.

A highlight of this patrol was the smooth and effective coordination between the officers and soldiers of the Lung Cu Border Guard Post and their counterparts. These soldiers at the forefront of the nation demonstrated a strong sense of responsibility, making a significant contribution to maintaining security and order in the border region.

The bilateral patrol activity is part of the cooperation agreement between the Ministry of National Defence of Vietnam and the Ministry of National Defence of China, signed on November 12, 2017, aimed at strengthening friendly relations and cooperation in border management and protection. This contributes to consolidating the solidarity and close ties between the Border Guard of Ha Giang province and the Border Guard force of Wenshan Prefecture, China.
