According to Colonel Nguyen Minh Khanh - Deputy Commander, Chief of Staff of Coast Guard Region 3, this is a practical activity for the two countries' forces to exchange and learn from each other about the ability to handle situations of the ship's staff and the actions of sailors in search and rescue, and fire prevention and fighting at sea.

“This is also an opportunity for officers and soldiers of the two countries to gain more experience in ensuring security, safety, and responding to incidents at sea; train officers and soldiers to be proactive, creative, capable of action, brave, and improve their organizational and command capacity in performing assigned tasks,” said Colonel Nguyen Minh Khanh.
