Friendly football matches took place among teams from the Vietnam Public Security Ministry and diplomatic missions in the country on July 11.

Australian and Mozambican ambassadors to Vietnam Hugh Borrowman and Gamilien Munguambe attended the event.

The matches and future cultural and sport exchanges will promote mutual trust and understanding, said Deputy Minister of Public Security Senior Lieutenant General Dang Van Hieu.

Borrowman lauded the bilateral engagement between Vietnamese and Australian law enforcement and hoped the ties would grow.-VNA
