The armed forces and people of Vietnam have always attached
importance to the traditional friendship and cooperation with the
Russian counterparts over the past years, a senior defence official has
said.
Deputy Defence Minister Sen. Lieut. Gen.
Truong Quang Khanh made the remark at a reception for visiting Guzenco
Oleg Borisovich, Acting Chairman of the Military Science Committee of
the Armed Forces of Russian Federation in Hanoi on May 22.
Khanh further said that bilateral cooperation in the areas of tropical
endurance, tropical ecology and tropical biomedicine has reaped
effective results via the Coordination Committee of the Russia-Vietnam
Tropical Centre, making significant contributions to fostering the
friendship and cooperation between the two peoples and armies.
He said he believes that the visit will help broaden scientific
research cooperation in various fields, thus realising agreements signed
by the two countries’ high-ranking leaders.
For his
part, the Russian guest applauded scientific research findings resulted
from cooperation between the Russia-Vietnam Tropical Centre and the
Russian Academy of Sciences as well as other institutes of the
Russian Ministry of Defence.
He said his visit
offers a good opportunity for both sides to review cooperation results
over the past time and put forth orientations for future cooperation in
new realms of staff training, health care for soldiers and maintenance
of weapons.-VNA
