General Ngo Xuan Lich (R) presents a gift to Israeli Ambassador Nadav Eshcar.

He affirmed that the State, Government and Ministry of National Defense of Vietnam always treasure bilateral relations and practical cooperation with Israel. He also recognized that the bilateral defense-military cooperation has gained positive results and is playing an increasingly important role in strengthening the bilateral relations between the two countries.

The Defense Minister pointed out that there is still much room to expand bilateral defense-military cooperation, as the relations between the two countries are developing. The two sides should increase delegation exchange, and cooperation on personnel training as well as search and rescue.

The Israeli ambassador thanked the Vietnamese Defense Minister for his warm reception and frank talks, and affirmed that he, in his capacity as the head representative of the Israeli Government in Vietnam, will spare no efforts in boosting relations between the two countries and cooperation between the two militaries.
