PANO – A ship of the Republic of Korea (RoK) number 3012 with 68 officers and sailors on board docked at Ba Ria-Vung Tau province on June 24th, starting a 5-day visit to Vietnam.

The RoK guests were welcomed by representatives from the Vietnam Marine Police Department, the Ba Ria-Vung Tau provincial People’s Committee and Border Guard Command, the Military Zone 7 Command, and the RoK’s Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City.

The visit of the RoK delegation, led by Major-General Ko Myung Suk, Head of the Department of Equipment and Technology, under the RoK Coast Guard Command, aims to promote international cooperation and share experience between the two nations’ marine police forces.
