External Borders

External borders are the boundaries that separate one country from others outside its own region or union. They are the outer limits that define a country's territory, where security, customs, and immigration controls are enforced. These borders help regulate movement of people, goods, and resources, ensuring national security and economic stability. Managing external borders involves measures like border checks, surveillance, and agreements with neighboring countries to prevent illegal activities while facilitating lawful travel and trade. They are essential for maintaining sovereignty and protection against external threats while supporting international cooperation.
