Hanoi, The Gulf Observer: Vietnam’s military forces, with a high rate of female officers and soldiers participating in UN peacekeeping operations, have demonstrated professionalism, discipline and international solidarity, especially the ability to quickly adapt to harsh environments and complete the UN’s requests, the Ministry of National Defence has said.
Speaking at the conference to review experience from taking part in UN peacekeeping operations on Thursday, Major General Hoang Kim Phung, Director of the Vietnam Department of Peacekeeping Operations, said Vietnam has successfully deployed 512 officers and soldiers to South Sudan, Central African Republic, Abyei and UN headquarters since it officially joined UN peacekeeping forces in 2014.
The Vietnamese forces have been fulfilling their tasks and received a very high evaluation from UN leaders and the international community.
Notably, in 2020, four officers of the Vietnam Department of Peacekeeping Operations were appointed by the UN as representatives, including three officers working at the Department of Peace Operations in the UN headquarters and one working at the UN peacekeeping mission in charge of coordinating military operations with the Government of the Central African Republic.
