He asked the force to continue implementing the border management and protection tasks in a synchronous, drastic and effective fashion, in addition to accelerating communication to raise public awareness of the safeguarding of national border, finalising mechanisms, policies and the legal system on the national border and the border guard force, improving training quality and researching the application of achievements of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the management and defence of the national border.

The border guard force was also requested to strengthen international cooperation in the building, management and safeguarding of a borderline of peace, stability, friendship, cooperation, development, civilisation, modernity and solid defence, in addition to implementing defence and border guard diplomacy in a flexible, creative and effective manner in order to build a borderline of peace, friendship, cooperation and development with all neighbouring countries.
