| On the provincial border in Ky Son district, in addition to Nam Can International Border Gate, there are many small roads, shortcuts, and trails. In addition to strictly ensuring traffic through Nam Can International Border Gate, guarding these locations 24/7 is extremely important. This task weighs heavily on the shoulders of border guards and coordinating forces at the local level.

| According to Mr. Gia Ba Co, a permanent militiaman of Nam Can commune, this checkpoint was established around September 2019 to prevent the movement of livestock such as buffaloes and cows across the border. The police and militia of Nam Can commune have worked with the border guards to organize the checkpoint since then. In recent times, the task is to prevent people from crossing the border like before; at the same time, to prevent illegal entry. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| Guarding small-scale routes, shortcuts, and trails is very difficult and arduous, but the forces at the checkpoints are aware of the importance of the assigned tasks. They said that they must strive to complete the task, because peace at the border will contribute to peace in society before the pandemic.
