India, Vietnam wrap up joint military exercise | India News,The Indian Express

The Indian Army said it was for the time that the Vietnam People's Army (VPA) undertook a field training exercise with a foreign army.

A nearly three-week military exercise carried jointly by the armies of India and Vietnam concluded in Chandimandir Thursday.

The Indian Army said it was for the time that the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) undertook a field training exercise with a foreign army. “The fact that Vietnam chose India for this honour, speaks volumes about the value the two countries place on their mutual relationship,” the Army said in a statement on the conclusion of VINBAX 2022.

The exercise had commenced on August 1 and was focused on deployment of Army Engineer and Medical teams in UN Peacekeeping operations. Over a period of three weeks, the soldiers of the two armies rubbed shoulders with each other learning from each other and sharing best practices.

Vietnam has deployed a contingent in UN peacekeeping operations for the first time in South Sudan while India has a long and rich tradition of contributing to UN peacekeeping missions.

“The contingents from the two countries underwent theory classes followed by practical exercises to validate the learning. The final validation exercise nicknamed ‘Men in Blue’ was built around the setting up of a base in a remote African location faced with myriad challenges,” the Army said.
