Receiving Saqib Qamar at the Defence Ministry’s headquarters in Hanoi on December 6, Sen. Lt. Gen. Tuan congratulated him on his appointment as Defence Attaché.

He said that potential for defence cooperation between Vietnam and Pakistan remains huge.

They can consider setting up an annual defence policy dialogue and signing a memorandum of understanding on bilateral defence cooperation so as to expand cooperation, thereby benefiting both armies, he noted.

Tuan added that Vietnam wants to learn from collaboration with Pakistan in search and rescue, military medicine, unexploded ordnance settlement, and participation in United Nations peacekeeping operations.
