Mr Cuong who is also Deputy Minister of National Defense added that Vietnam remains steadfast in its “four nos” defense policy: not joining military alliances; not siding with one country against another; not allowing foreign military bases or the use of Vietnamese territory to oppose other countries; and not using or threatening to use force in international relations.
He proposed that both sides continue to closely coordinate to effectively advance cooperation in key areas, including maintaining delegation exchanges, implementing signed agreements, expanding collaboration in training and military competitions, and supporting each other’s international defense exhibitions. He also suggested exploring new fields such as military science and military medicine.
