Vibrant exchange activities between Vietnamese and Chinese navies

At Fangcheng Port in Guangxi, China, personnel from both sides had the opportunity to share professional experience, strengthen mutual understanding, and enhance camaraderie. These interactions contributed to reinforcing friendly, cooperative, and trust-based relations between the two navies and militaries, while supporting the broader Vietnam - China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.
