The VPN’s ship’s participation in the activities in Singapore this time is to realize foreign policies on active international integration of the Party, State, the Central Military Commission, and the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense. It also shows the VPN’s responsibility as a member of the ASEAN Naval Commander Meeting (ANCM) and the WPNS.

Especially, the visit is to show the VPN’s goodwill in promoting relations with the Republic of Singapore Navy, supporting activities hosted by the RSN, and strengthening relations with the ASEAN and regional navies.

This also provides opportunities for the VPN’s officers and sailors to share experiences and improve interoperation capacity with other navies.
