Delegate of Quang Tri delegation Ho Thi Minh questioned the content of solutions to prevent smuggling and illegal transportation of livestock and poultry, especially buffalo, cows, pigs and chickens in the border areas of Vietnam - Laos and Vietnam - Cambodia.
Regarding this issue, Minister Ho Duc Phoc said that the key content to prevent this must start from people's awareness. Through the main border gate system, trails, and openings with customs, it will be thoroughly prevented.
But when cattle cross the border through an open area without inspection, there must be a patrol solution, especially the responsibility of local authorities and more than anyone else, those who buy, sell, and herd cattle and poultry.
Therefore, the solution is to strengthen propaganda to raise awareness, deterrence and coordination between border districts, between forces such as border guards, police and customs to prevent.
