He expressed his hope that the Vietnamese and US naval forces will further develop in an effective and practical manner, contributing to fostering the two countries’ defence relations.

Congratulating the VPA on its 70th founding anniversary (December 22, 1944), Harry Harris suggested Vietnam create conditions for the US to increase its naval ships visiting the country next year, thus strengthening collaboration between both sides.
