The two officials expressed their hope at a reception hosted by Deputy Defense Minister General Nguyen Chi Vinh for the visiting Greek Ambassador to Vietnam at the Defense Ministry’s headquarters on March 23.
The two sides agreed that the fruitful cooperation currently enjoyed by the two nations has neither fully tapped their potential in cooperation nor met the two countries’ expectation as yet.
The Greek Ambassador held that the Vietnam People’s Army’s combat tradition and national protection laid deep impression on him and he wished to understand Vietnam’s experience to cope with current hot issues.
