Hanoi (VNA) – Deputy Minister of National Defence Sen. Lieut. Gen. Hoang Xuan Chien on January 20 hosted a reception for Colonel Eugene Vincent Jeoffrey Dudley, the new South African Defense Attaché in Vietnam.

Chien expressed belief that the South African official will have a successful working tenure in Vietnam.

He noted that Vietnam and South Africa have shared effective defence partnership with active cooperation activities, especially in delegation exchange, consultation, military industry, personnel training, security protection, logistics and military medicine.
