The Vice Chairman of the National Assembly also noted that Binh Thuan has nearly 200 kilometers of coastline and is a major fishing center in the country, with a large fleet of fishing vessels. Along with its strategic geographical location and vibrant developing economy, the Border Guard forces in Binh Thuan must pay more attention to ensuring maritime border security and safety, supporting fishermen in their fishing activities, helping them effectively engage in coastal economic activities, and complying with maritime laws and regulations. They should also effectively control fishing vessels, ensure livelihoods for fishermen, and contribute to the political security and socio-economic development of the province.
