It was led by Colonel Bui Hong Quang, deputy head of the Department of Military Training under the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army.
In his opening remarks, CISM President Colonel Hervé Piccirillo said the event has demonstrated the sports spirit and friendship between armies, expressing his hope that the COVID-19 pandemic will soon be contained so that the upcoming CISM programmes will take place as scheduled.
Delegates looked into the operation of the council in 2020 and its planned activities for the 2020-2023 period.
They also reached consensus on time and venues for some CISM tournaments next year, and voted to approve relevant documents.
Founded in 1948 in Nice (France), the CISM is one of the largest multidisciplinary organisations in the world. The council organises various sporting events for the armed forces of its 136 member countries and is one of the global sports organisations in which the largest number of disciplines is represented./.
