Nghe An Border Guard: Presenting gifts to outstanding fishermen of 2014

(Baonghean.vn) - This morning, December 29th, the Nghe An Border Guard Command held a ceremony to present gifts to outstanding fishermen of 2014. Attending the ceremony were leaders of the Border Guard Command, the Cua Lo - Ben Thuy Port Border Guard Station, the Quynh Phuong Border Guard Station, and 15 outstanding fishermen.

Presenting gifts to outstanding fishermen.

Implementing the "For the Ships Sailing Far Out to Sea" program launched by the Border Guard Command, 15 exemplary fishermen in coastal communes of Hoang Mai town, Quynh Luu district, Dien Chau district, Nghi Loc district and Cua Lo town were selected by the Nghe An Border Guard to receive 15 sets of equipment to support their work at sea, including: I-Com radios, GPS devices and walkie-talkies, with a total value of 120 million VND (this amount was raised by the Nghe An Border Guard through contributions from various levels, sectors, philanthropists and officers and soldiers of the provincial Border Guard to support fishermen in protecting maritime sovereignty).

Instructing fishermen on how to use the equipment.

The fishermen who received gifts this time are those with outstanding achievements in participating in protecting the sovereignty and security of the Fatherland's maritime territory. Besides presenting gifts, the Border Guard Command also assigned tasks to coastal border guard posts to coordinate and support fishermen in installing and effectively using the equipment, ensuring safe fishing operations and contributing to the protection of maritime border security.

The gift-giving program in Nghe An Province was assigned to units that surveyed and assessed the specific needs of the local people, ensuring that the gifts met the fishermen's expectations and yielded the best results. This program ran from 2014 to the end of 2016.
