In April, Cona, located in the southeastern part of Southwest China s Xizang Autonomous Region, upgraded from a county to a city, attracting domestic and international attention.
This strategically important city, bordering Bhutan to the west and India to the south, once witnessed great battles to protect the homeland. Today, the spirit of defending the border and the land is carried forward through consolidation and development.
Global Times reporters recently visited the upgraded Cona city, experiencing the vigorous vitality of border construction and the peaceful atmosphere brought by enriching and securing the border area.
