Vietnamese military medical staff to join the exercise

On hearing reports on the preparation results, Gen. Ngoc emphasized that the forces participating in the exercise are not only to implement the defense diplomacy missions of the military in general and of Military Region 5 in particular, but also to represent Vietnam’s image and position. Therefore, each serviceman must show responsibility, be aware of their tasks, and exert all-out efforts to complete the assignments. They must also observe regulations in foreign affairs, ensure absolute safety in all aspects, contributing to tightening the solidarity and friendship among the three countries and spreading the good image of revolutionary servicemen and good virtues of Uncle Ho’s soldiers in the new period.
