From October 10 to 15, the ship will attend an international fleet review at Jeju Naval Base in the Republic of Korea (RoK) to realize the joint vision statement on defense cooperation until 2030 signed between the two defense ministries and exchange experience in organizing naval fleet reviews according to international regulations.

Then from October 21 to 28, the Vietnamese frigate will take part in the ASEAN-China Maritime Exercise in Zhanjiang, China.

These activities are part of the plan of the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense in response to the support of the governments, defense ministries and navies of Japan, RoK and China, thus tightening friendship and cooperation as well as mutual understanding and political trust between the Vietnam People’s Navy and foreign countries’ navies.
