Overview of the opening ceremony |
The Vietnam Defense Expo 2024, organized by the MND, will take place from December 19 to 22. Coinciding with the celebrations of the 80th founding anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army and the 35th anniversary of the Whole-People’s Defense Festive Day, the expo is an event of great importance.
This year's exhibition is expected to host a significantly larger number of international defense enterprises, delegations, senior defense officials, and defense industry managers compared to the 2022 event. Therefore, the role of liaison officers and interpreters is vital in ensuring smooth interactions and contributing to the overall success of the exhibition.
