New Zealand Ambassador to Vietnam Haike Manning has vowed to work his hardest to strengthen cooperation between the two countries during his term.
Meeting with Deputy Minister of National Defence, Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Chi Vinh, in Hanoi on July 2, Manning said the defence cooperation mechanism reached at the ASEAN Defence Ministerial Plus Meeting (ADMM+) in Hanoi in October 2010 has ushered in cooperation opportunities for both countries in various realms.
Deputy Minister Vinh noted with pleasure the effective Vietnam-New Zealand defence cooperation in the exchange of delegations, training, maritime police, naval forces and experience on joining the United Nations peacekeeping missions.
Besides bilateral cooperation, the two countries actively supported each other at multilateral forums like the ADMM+ and the ASEAN Regional Forum, he said.
He expressed his hope that Manning will contribute his efforts to military and people-to-people cooperation between the two nations.-VNA
