MND officers and foreign military attachés hold sports competitions

This is one of the activities in celebration of the 79th National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. During the event, a team of foreign military attachés competed against another one of Vietnamese military officers. The two teams played their best while upholding the values of friendship. At the end of the game, players displaying impressive skills were awarded.

With the spirit of sportsmanship, solidarity, friendship, and cooperation, the match left a positive impression on the all participants. At the same time, it served as a bridge to tighten friendship and enhance mutual understanding between the Vietnam People's Army and foreign militaries. This activity has contributed to diversifying the exchange between the Vietnamese MND and the delegation of foreign military attachés to Vietnam.

On this occasion, Col. Prin Yongpiyanon, Thai Air Force Attaché and head of the delegation of foreign military attachés to Vietnam, congratulated Vietnam on the National Day. He dubbed the game a "world match," as it had been played by representatives from various countries' attaché offices. Col. Prin Yongpiyanon considered the volleyball exchange a good idea from the Vietnamese MND’s Department of Foreign Relations, which has contributed to strengthening friendship and cooperation between the two sides.
