Vietnam upgrades navy to protect sovereignty deputy minister
The Vietnamese navy is upgrading its capacity with more advanced equipment and devices with peaceful intentions in protecting the country’s sovereignty, Commander Nguyen Van Hien, also deputy minister of the Ministry of Defense, told Thanh Nien.
How do you assess the Vietnam People’s Navy’s current determination and capacity to protect the nation’s sea and island sovereignty? How has the Navy’s recent weapon purchases helped improve the country’s defense capacity?
Vietnam is a country with a long coast and sea economy which accounts for a major proportion of the national economy. Therefore, developing the Navy to protect the nation’s sovereignty and interests at sea, and securing a peaceful and stable environment for economic development are some of the top priorities of the Party, the government, and the Vietnam People’s Army.
Currently, Vietnam’s economy is developing and has had some reserves. Together with some military forces like the Air Defense – Air Force, Communications and Electronic Welfare, the Navy is investing in equipment to guarantee that it is strong enough to defeat all schemes meant to violate Vietnam’s sovereignty.
However, I want to note that Vietnam’s defense policy is one of peace and self-defense. Even as Vietnam purchases more weapons, it still serves these purposes.
