PANO - Hospital Ship 561 of the Vietnam People's Navy (VPN) left Padang city on April 16th, after successfully fulfilling its mission of taking part in the 2016 Komodo multilateral naval exercise in Indonesia.

The "Readiness and Cooperation for Peace” exercise covered UN peacekeeping operations at sea, humanitarian aid, and disaster relief activities.

The VPN's delegation taking part in the event was highly regarded by the host and participating countries for their responsibility and competence in dealing with maritime security issues and maintaining regional peace and stability. The delegation made great contributions to promoting the image of the Vietnam People's Army (VPA) to international friends, as well as to building friendship and trust among the participating nations.

The People's Army Newspaper would like to present images of the four-day naval exercise:
