PM Dung inspects air force training
(VOV) - Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has asked the Air Defence-Air Force to heighten vigilance and preparedness as it continues to build a regular air force to fulfill all assigned tasks.
The PM highlighted the importance of national defence while he was inspecting combat training at Air Force Regiment 910 during his visit to the central province of Phu Yen on April 7.
Dung praised the regiment’s achievements, as well as its contributions to the country over the past years, noting that good defence is extremely important for a peaceful country.
The regiment should teach moral virtue and dignity to pilots and officers in the new revolutionary period to promote a united force, the PM said.
He also asked the regiment to apply modern training methods, especially for pilots.
Over the past 54 years, Regiment 910 has trained thousands of Vietnamese pilots, and actively participated in search and rescue activities.
The same day, PM Dung also inspected the construction of a passenger terminal at Tuy Hoa airport. The project got underway in August 2012, and is scheduled to be completed this coming August.
