At the headquarters of the city’s Border Guard Command, the PM stressed the strategic importance of the city not only in resistance wars for national independence, but also in defending the country’s air and sea territories in peace time.

He urged the local border guard force, and the city's armed forces as a whole, to stay alert and keep up combat readiness to ensure political stability, security and social order in the locality.

PM Phuc later called at the office of the Party Committee of Hai Chau District, and went around the district’s Thuan Phuoc ward to talk to local officials and residents.

On the occasion of the traditional Tet (Lunar New Year) Festival, the national leader is paying visits to extend New Year wishes to the armed forces and residents across the country. This is part of the Vietnamese Tet tradition.

Da Nang is the third largest city in Viet Nam, behind capital Ha Noi and business hub Ho Chi Minh City.
