Vietnamese police hand over three office buildings to Lao police units stationed in the villages of Dac Mon, Dac Ta Ooc and Mon Ha.

It has been great effort of the police forces in Quang Nam.

The Vietnamese province of Quang Nam and the Lao province of Sekong share a 157-km borderline. Sekong has 16 hamlets bordering the two Vietnamese districts of Dak Chung and Ka Lum.

Following the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security’s scheme to build stations for Lao police units along the Vietnam-Laos border, the Quang Nam Provincial Police Department started to build 16 stations for Lao police forces garrisoned in the Lao villages of Sekong province. Lao police forces in the villages had had to work and live in a poor condition.

In the early December 2021, the Vietnamese and Lao police coordinated to survey the construction sites and later in December 2021, the Vietnamese police broke ground for the first station in Dac Man village, Da Ta Oc grouping, Da Chung district, Sekong province, Laos.

Speaking at a hand-over ceremony, Director of the Sekong Provincial Public Security Department Major General  Somxay Phulakhammany said “Over the past years, the police force in Quang Nam province, Vietnam has shared professional expertise and closely coordinated with the public security forces in Sekong province, Laos. The Vietnamese side has also provided large support for the Lao side to prevent and control the Covid pandemic and specially built office buildings for Lao police units stationed in border areas, contributing to improving living and working conditions for Lao police officers there. We appreciate the support and sentiment of the Vietnamese police.

It can be said that the scheme to build stations for Lao police units garrisoned along the shared border is a good policy of the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security as the scheme facilitates the coordination between Vietnamese and Lao police forces in the fight against crime, especially drug trafficking, helps maintain order and security along the shared borderline, and tighten the traditional friendship between the two countries, two peoples and two public security forces.
