A high-ranking delegation from the Ministry of National Defence, led by Deputy Minister, Lieutenant General Nguyen Chi Vinh, paid a visit to Cambodia over September 12-13.
The officers held talks with Secretary of State of the Cambodian Ministry of National Defence General Neang Phat, who commended Vietnam for its role as Chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Phat stated that Cambodia would work more closely with Vietnam to successfully organise the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting Plus (ADMM+), scheduled to take place in Hanoi on October 12.
Vinh applauded Cambodia’s contributions to the ADMM+, saying that it was important to boost cooperation in security and defence between the two neighbouring countries.
He underlined the success of the fourth ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting (ADMM-4) in May 2010, which, he said, completed the necessary legal foundations for the bloc to expand its security and defence relationship with the region and the rest of the world through the ADMM+.
The same day, General Vinh paid courtesy visits to Prime Minister Hun Sen and Minister of National Defence General Tea Banh. (VNA)
