The Deputy Minister made his comment at a reception in Hanoi on August 14 for
the Australian delegation to the consultation, led by Stephen Moore, Assistant
Secretary Global Interests at the Australian Department of Defence.
Vinh said the consultation will also help the two sides optimise the role of
their consultation and dialogue mechanisms at different levels, first of all the
diplomatic-defence strategic dialogue and defence policy dialogue to be held in
October this year.
The official noted that the Vietnam Ministry of Defence considers Australia a
key partner, which has supported the country in building its peacekeeping
training centre.
Vinh thanked Australia for its commitment to sponsor equipment for and transport
of Vietnam’s level-2 field hospital to the UN Mission in South Sudan.
For his part, Moore said topics suggested by his host, including collaboration
between military corps, peacekeeping mission, cyber security, and alleviation of
war aftermath in Vietnam, will be discussed at the defence cooperation
consultation.
He stated Australia values ties with Vietnam and is working with Vietnam to
identify suitable areas for bilateral defence cooperation.
