Over the past time, bilateral defence cooperation has been actively promoted through bilateral and multilateral engagements between the two defence ministries. They have effectively maintained dialogue and consultation mechanisms, delegation exchanges, and cooperation in training, UN peacekeeping, defence industry, and war aftermath settlement, along with mutual support at multilateral forums and mechanisms, he said.

Giang thanked the Canadian Ministry of National Defence for its support in personnel training and UN peacekeeping engagement, helping to enhance the international integration capacity of Vietnamese officers and contributing to addressing global challenges.

He proposed that, in the coming time, the two sides will continue implementing existing areas of cooperation in accordance with the signed agreements and further strengthen collaboration in training, UN peacekeeping, defence industry, and war aftermath recovery.

For her part, Beck noted with pleasure the strong development of the bilateral relations, and her hope for stronger defence ties in the time ahead./.
