(VOV) -On March 7 Deputy Defence Minister, Senior Lieutenant General Nguyen Chi Vinh received US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Space and Defense Policy Frank A. Rose on a working visit to Vietnam.

Vinh hailed the growing comprehensive partnership between Vietnam and the US in recent times, expressing his wish that both sides will maximize efforts to effectively implement cooperation agreements based on the 2011 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on defence cooperation.
