Viet Nam attends Singapore Airshow 2024

The Singapore Airshow is the biggest air show in Asia, held biennially. This year, it attracted the participation of more than 900 businesses and units from 45 countries and territories.

The Vietnamese delegation visited booths displaying products of several large businesses and corporations worldwide and watched demonstrations by the Singaporean, Indian, U.S., Republic of Korea, Chinese, Indonesian and Australian air forces and some international civil airlines.

Within the framework of the exhibition, the delegation also had meetings with partners to discuss issues of mutual concern and bilateral cooperation.

During a meeting with Deputy Minister of Defence of the Czech Republic Daniel Blazkovec, Lieutenant General Pham Truong Son thanked the people of Czechoslovakia (Czech Republic today) for the valuable help for Viet Nam's past struggle for national liberation as well as its nation-building cause.

He praised the outstanding results of bilateral defence cooperation recently and wished the two countries would continue their collaboration in different fields, such as delegation exchange and training.

Meeting Assistant Secretary of the US Air Force Andrew Hunter, the Vietnamese delegation head suggested the two sides strengthen cooperation based on signed documents, prioritizing collaboration in training, rescue and military medicine, joining United Nations peacekeeping missions, and overcoming war consequences in Viet Nam.

Also, at the meetings, Lieutenant General Pham Truong Son respectfully thanked the countries' Ministries of Defense and Armies for sending high-level delegations to attend the Viet Nam International Defense Exhibition in 2022.

He hopes that the Ministry of National Defense, the Army, and defence enterprises of other countries will continue to support and attend the Viet Nam International Defense Exhibition 2024 on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Viet Nam People's Army./.
