Specifically, Article 3 of the 2020 Vietnam Border Law stipulates the State policy on Border Guard, including the following 7 contents:
1. Implement the policy of independence, sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity; build a border of peace, friendship, cooperation, development, and long-term stability with countries sharing a border; expand international cooperation, defense and security diplomacy, border diplomacy, and people-to-people diplomacy.
2. Resolve national border issues by peaceful means on the basis of respect for each other's independence, sovereignty, unity, territorial integrity, and legitimate interests, in accordance with the Constitution, laws of Vietnam, and international treaties to which the Socialist Republic of Vietnam is a member.
3. Use legitimate and appropriate measures to protect the independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the Fatherland.

4. Implement the policy of great national unity; build a strong and widespread national border protection force, with the people as the main subject and the people's armed forces as the core.
5. Strengthen and enhance national defense and security; prioritize investment resources, modernize border works, develop economy, culture, society, science, technology, and foreign affairs in border areas.
