Vietnam’s participation in the UN’s peacekeeping mission is a breakthrough in implementing the Party’s consistent foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, peace, cooperation and development, stated Deputy Defence Minister Sen. Lt. Gen. Nguyen Chi Vinh.
The second level-2 field hospital, recently set up by the Ministry of National Defence, is considered a new landmark in Vietnam’s participation in the United Nations’ peacekeeping operations.
Staff of Vietnam’s level-2 field hospital No. 2 are currently under training in Hanoi to prepare to assume the tasks their peers of the hospital No. 1 are performing in the UN peacekeeping mission in South Sudan.
A training course on field operation was opened for staff of Vietnam’s level-2 field hospital No.2 in the Vietnam Department of Peacekeeping Operations on November 26.
The Defence Ministry on November 20 handed over to two officers the President’s decision to assign them to take on duty at the United Nations’ peacekeeping mission in South Sudan.
Vietnam and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will chair an international conference in early September, aiming to improve the country’s capacity of taking part in UN peacekeeping activities.
