Vietnamese officers involved in UN peacekeeping missions have fulfilled all assigned tasks and are highly valued by the UN, mission commanders, and international counterparts. The praise was given at a meeting between the inter-disciplinary working group and the Defence Ministry’s Steering Committee on Việt Nam’s participation in UN peacekeeping operations in Hà Nội yesterday. The work was implemented in line with the roadmap set in the master plan on Việt Nam’s participation in UN peacekeeping operations in 2014-20 and beyond, they said. Việt Nam maintained the close management over officers joining UN peacekeeping missions in the Central African Republic and South Sudan, ensuring absolute safety of human life and equipment. On this basis, Việt Nam will gradually expand the scale and fields of engagement in UN peacekeeping operations, they said.
