In order to prevent and combat drug trafficking and illegal transportation in the border area, Nghe An Border Guard discovered a drug trafficking ring from Vientiane (Laos) to Xieng Khouang (Laos) province, then tried to bring the drugs back to Vietnam for consumption. This criminal ring was led by Lau Giong De, residing in Na Kham village, Kham Cot district, Bo Ly Kham Xay province (Laos).

To destroy this route, on November 10, 2017, the Border Guard Command of Nghe An province established a special project with code number 364 LV to fight.
