The program is co-organized by the Vietnam Peacekeeping Department (VPD) under the Ministry of National Defence and the French Defence Attaché Office in Hanoi in coordination with the International Organization of la Francophonie in Vietnam.
In his opening speech, VPD Director Colonel Hoang Kim Phung hailed Vietnam-France defence relations in recent years, especially cooperation in UN peacekeeping mission.
France’s support through this program is practical and valuable to Vietnam, contributing to consolidating fine relations between the two countries, he added.
