US navy ships make port call in Vietnam
VOV.VN - Aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan escorted by Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers USS Antietam (CG 54) and USS Robert Smalls (CG 62), began a goodwill visit to Vietnam on June 25.
The two escorting cruisers docked at Tien Sa port, while nuclear-powered USS Ronald Reagan anchored offshore.
The five-day goodwill visit is part of activities to mark 10 years of the comprehensive partnership between Vietnam and the US (2013-2023).
The US ships and the crew were welcomed at Tien Sa port by leaders of the Da Nang administration, including Ho Ky Minh, deputy head of the municipal government, along with representatives of the Ministry of National Defence.
During their stay, commanders of the US Navy convoy will greet the leaders of the Da Nang administration and the third Regional Command.
They will also take part in cultural exchanges, sport games, food display, as well as humanitarian activities at Hope Village and Hoa Mai Orphanage Center.
The visit to Vietnam by the US Navy ships is expected to contribute to further developing the Vietnam-US Comprehensive Partnership, and to demonstrate Vietnam’s ability to ensure logistics for foreign ships on visits.
