Vietnamese sailing ship arrives in Malaysia

Passing 1,000 miles after ten days, the ship arrived in Malaysia as scheduled with absolute safety. During the journey, the crew-members on board organized training contents at sea, focusing on checking weapons and equipment, improving leadership ability as well as combat readiness; and conducted activities according to the program of the Naval Academy for more than 40 senior cadets.

After the solemn welcoming ceremony, the delegation paid a courtesy visit on Rear Admiral Farizal Myeor, Second-in-Command of the Western Fleet of the Malaysian Navy.

At the reception, Naval Senior Captain Huynh Vinh Tuyen underscored that this is the fourth time the Vietnamese Naval delegation has visited Malaysia and the first visit to Malaysia of the 286-Le Quy Don. The visit aims to spread the message of friendship, cooperation and mutual trust between the two navies and militaries.
