Vietnam’s engagement in United Nations (UN) peacekeeping operations over the past 11 years has demonstrated the country’s growing maturity and its strong commitment and responsibility to the international community, helping to implement the noble humanitarian mission, and promote sustainable peace around the world.

Joining United Nations (UN)’s peacekeeping operations is not only a bright spot in Vietnam’s defence foreign policy but also makes significant contributions to realising the Party and State’s foreign policies, according to Deputy Minister of Defence Senior Lieutenant General Hoang Xuan Chien.
