The ship crew comprised 100 officers and sailors led by Lieutenant Colonel Alain Gaborit. It is her fourth port call in Vietnam so far.
During the stay, French officers on board will pay courtesy visits on leaders of the Khanh Hoa provincial People’s Committee and the Naval Region 4 Command. In addition, the crew-members will participate in contactless joint training activities with their counterparts of the Vietnam People’s Navy.
Over the past time, the Vietnam-France defense cooperation has been strengthened and reaped positive results in both bilateral and multilateral aspects.
The visit of the Vendémiaire this time aims to beef up exchanges and cooperation between the countries’ navies in particular and the bilateral defense ties in general, in line with the Vietnam-France strategic partnership.
