Maj. Gen. Nguyen Viet Dung speaks at the event. |
The event is part of the cooperation plan between the Vietnamese and Cambodian Defense Ministries in 2026.
In his opening remarks, Maj. Gen. Nguyen Viet Dung, Head of the Department of Legal Affairs, highlighted the continued strengthening and development of the traditional friendship between Viet Nam and Cambodia across all fields. Military and defense cooperation has become increasingly substantive and effective, serving as an important pillar of bilateral relations.
According to Gen. Dung, legal affairs play a vital role in building a regular, disciplined, and modern military. Developing and improving military and defense legislation, disseminating information and educating personnel on the law, and inspecting and supervising law enforcement are key tasks in ensuring discipline and the effective and efficient implementation of defense missions.
“With a spirit of sincere, open, and constructive cooperation, I am confident that this course will be a success, contributing to the further strengthening of the good-neighborliness, traditional friendship, comprehensive cooperation, and long-term sustainable partnership between Viet Nam and Cambodia,” Maj. Gen. Nguyen Viet Dung said.
