Frigate “012 - Ly Thai To” of the Vietnam People’s Navy welcomed
Earlier, during its three-day voyage, the Vietnamese frigate conducted combat readiness exercises on board, checked weapons and equipment’s readiness, observed the surrounding areas while on the move and rechecked preparations for the AMNEX-1 and IFR 2017.

Apart from taking part in AMNEX-1 and IFR 2017 under the chair of Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, the Vietnamese naval ship will also join sideline activities such as a meeting for captains, sport competitions, a street parade and an ASEAN’s cuisine night.

The IFR 2017 has drawn the participation of 40 battleships and eight aircraft from the ASEAN and 11 other nations. Among them, 14 battleships, two seaplanes and three helicopters are from ASEAN’s member countries. Notably, the host Thailand sent two battleships, a seaplane and two helicopters to the event.
