Local children welcome Vietnamese Military Medical Team. |
The Military Medical Contingent of Vietnam is the first out of the 11 participating ones to arrive in Uzbekistan.
Uzbekistan’s hosting of such a large-scale military sport event will go down as a milestone in the history of the Uzbekistani military medicine in particular and Uzbekistani military in general.
After the arrival, the Vietnamese contingent has promptly made training plans, while getting used to the harsh weather condition in the host country and adapting to the daily life at Forish field training base. They all have high resolve, ready for the competition.
