South Korean naval ships visit Vietnam to boost military cooperation

Xinhua, December 7, 2016 Adjust font size:

Two vessels of South Korea Navy on Wednesday docked at Cam Ranh International Port in Vietnam's south central coastal Khanh Hoa province to begin a visit aimed at boosting military cooperation.

The ships, ROKS Cheon Ji and ROKS Chungmugong Yi Sunshi, have 39 officers and 485 crewmembers on board.

The visit aims to bolster cooperation between the two militaries and thereby helping enhance the two countries' strategic partnership, said a report of Vietnam's state-run news agency VNA.

This is the second time South Korean military vessels have visited Vietnam after May 2015, when its coast guard force visited Vietnam's central Da Nang city. Endit
