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.

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.

6. Mobilize resources of agencies, organizations and individuals in performing border protection tasks.

7. Encourage and create conditions for agencies, organizations and individuals to provide material, financial and spiritual support for the implementation of border protection tasks on the principle of voluntariness, not contrary to Vietnamese law and in accordance with international law.
