He said Vietnam has actively worked with partners to offer military training and seek better ways to ensure the effectiveness of peacekeeping activities.
Speaking at the event, Ambassador Dang Dinh Quy, head of the Vietnam Permanent Mission to the UN, highlighted the achievements made by the Vietnam People’s Army over the past 75 years.
