The Vietnamese delegation is competing in tank biathlon, military medical race
and field kitchen.
On July 28, Chief of the General Staff of the VPA and Deputy Defence Minister
Senior Lieutenant General Phan Van Giang, participated in the event’s opening
ceremony.
This is the first time the VPA has joined the games. Its presence is to realise
agreements signed during the visits to Vietnam and Russia by the two Defence
Ministers in January and April.
This year’s event, the fourth of its kind, saw the participation of 181 teams
from 32 nations. It aims to intensify friendship between participating countries
in general and understanding between their armies in particular.
