The conference also highlighted the key role of national border protection strategy in national building and defense.
Conference’s participants noted that the draft strategy has defined the goals, viewpoints, principles, guidelines on the work, along with the methods and policies to successfully implement the strategy.
They consented that building, management and protection of national border and border areas are a key and regular task for the entire Party, people and armed forces as well as the political system, with the people’s armed forces as the core and the border guard as the specialised force.
