These works vividly reflect daily life and the beauty of distinctive architectural works, festivals and folk arts of ethnic minority people living along the border; and life of on-duty border guard officers who stay ready to defend the country’s sovereignty and border security.

Addressing the launching ceremony, To Dai Phong, deputy head of the municipal Party Committee’s Commission for Communications and Education, said the photo contest aims to recognize and honour the soldiers who are safeguarding the national border day and night and promote the country’s achievements under the leadership of the Party.

The contest has grabbed attention of both professional and amateur photographers across the country, he said.

The exhibition will run through May 7./.
