Growing up from humble beginnings, Lieutenant Vo Van Vinh, an A Dot border guard station (A Luoi District, Thua Thien-Hue) considers childhood education both pressing challenge and indispensable joy in his life. He has become a source of inspiration for the movement “Nâng bước em đến trường” (Accompanying children to go to school), set to be implemented nationwide.

In the period from 1945 to 1975, Vietnam and Laos had to wage the war against the French and the US. Both countries agreed on the importance and reasonability of the settlement of the land border to clearly define the territory of each country in order to put an end to local disputes and conflicts.

After the unification of the country, Bu Prang was under the management of Vietnam. However, due to the differences and shortcomings of old documents, Vietnam and Cambodia still need a dialogue in the spirit of goodwill and compliance with international law and practices.
