Thousands of leaflets were distributed, providing information on agreements and protocols on border management and protection; the agreement on the regulations for the management of the Vietnam-China land border; entry-exit and import-export regulations; border-gate management rules; and measures to prevent smuggling and trade fraud. The materials also emphasized the importance of safeguarding territorial sovereignty and national border security.

At busy border gates such as Tan Thanh, Huu Nghi, and Chi Ma, leaflets were prepared in both Vietnamese and Chinese with clear, accessible language and illustrative visuals suitable for local residents.

Lam Van Ha, a driver from Gia Lai rovince, said he frequently crosses the Tan Thanh Border Gate to transport goods to China. “Border guards regularly remind drivers involved in import–export activities to comply with legal regulations at the border gate. Thanks to these efforts, many people now understand what constitutes a violation and avoid engaging in unlawful acts,” he said.

Lieutenant Colonel Vi Van Duy, Deputy Political Commissar of the Tan Thanh Border Guard Station under the Lang Son Border Guard Command, noted that legal dissemination activities help border residents stay updated on newly issued regulations. He added that with about 1,000 people completing entry and exit procedures daily at Tan Thanh Border Gate, raising legal awareness remains essential. “We aim to foster voluntary compliance with the law among border communities on both sides,” he said.

The campaign also marked Vietnam Law Day on November 9 and contributed to strengthening cooperation between border forces of both countries, with the shared goal of building a border area of peace, friendship and development.
