(RoK) are sharing their international peacekeeping experience with
Vietnam at a seminar in central Da Nang City.
Co-hosted by the Defence Ministry’s Institute for International Defence Relations and the RoK’s Embassy in Vietnam, the three-day seminar is also attended by representatives from countries which are assisting Vietnam in its preparation to join the United Nations peacekeeping force, including Australia, the UK, India and the US.
At the recent Shangri-La Dialogue, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung announced Vietnam’s decision to join international peacekeeping activities.
Themed “Sharing experiences in peacekeeping operations with countries new to contributing troops”, the seminar looks at three main topics, including the UN’s current orientations in peacekeeping activities and Vietnam ’s preparations, experience in deploying troops, and peacekeeping troop training.
Participants introduce their own countries’ experience in sending military observers and troops, peacekeeping troops’ operation in different countries, management of the troops, negotiations with the UN, and training and deploying officers.
They also discuss a suitable peacekeeping troop management model for Vietnam.
Additionally, participants at the seminar spend time analysing problems that may arise during peacekeeping operations and how to respond to them.
Major General Vu Tien Trong, Director of the Institute for International Defence Relations, said the seminar will provide Vietnam with precious comments and suggestions in preparing its troops for peacekeeping missions in the coming time.
Chargé d'affaires at the RoK Embassy in Vietnam Oh Nak Young said his country joined UN Peacekeeping Forces in 1992 and welcomes Vietnam’s coming membership next year.
He expressed his hope that other similar seminars will be held to share practical experience in supplying troops to maintain global peace.-VNA
