Among the three officers was Lieutenant Colonel Luong Truong Vinh, who will assume the position of Senior Liaison Officer and Head of the Military Observers’ Office within UNMISS. This is a new post and the first time a Vietnamese military officer has been entrusted with a senior-level position in a UN peacekeeping mission.
Deputy Defense Minister Nguyen Truong Thang congratulated the officers and commended the Department of Peacekeeping Operations and relevant agencies for their work in developing, training, and preparing forces for UN peacekeeping missions.
