ADMM Retreat stuck to the theme of ASEAN Chairmanship Year 2020

As one of the main defense and military activities and conferences organized by the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense in the ASEAN Chairmanship Year 2020, the ADMM Retreat stuck to the theme of “Cohesive and Responsive ASEAN.” 

Delegates to the event highly appreciated the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense for its proactive and active preparations for the meeting.  While the acute respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is developing complicatedly, the ratification of a joint statement on defense cooperation against COVID-19 demonstrated the unity and responsiveness of ASEAN member states to emerging challenges, meeting expectations of people in the region.

PANO would like to introduce some photos of the ADMM Retreat hosted by the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense from February 18 to 20.
