On October 10, Do Van Chien, Politburo member and Standing Vice President of the National Assembly, accompanied by leaders of Dien Bien Province, visited Sam Mun Primary and Secondary Boarding School to inspect the students’ learning and living conditions.

The construction of boarding schools in land border communes is a particularly important political task receiving close attention from the Politburo and Party General Secretary and State President To Lam. The programme not only aims to improve learning conditions for students in border areas, but also carries strategic significance for social welfare, human development, national defence and security, and safeguarding territorial sovereignty.
