Vietnamese troops return home from Army Games 2020
PANO – A flight of the national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines carrying 90 Vietnamese troops who participated in Army Games 2020 in Russia landed safely at Noi Bai Airport, Hanoi, on September 8.
This is the third consecutive year that the Vietnam People’s Army sent its troops to compete in events of the games. The active participation of the Vietnamese delegation showed the country’s support for multilateral activities hosted by the Russian Ministry of Defense as well as Russia’s role and position in the international arena. It was also part of the practical defense activities in the framework of the Vietnam-Russia Cross Year 2019-2020 and the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations (1950-2020).
