This event marks the first visit by an Indonesian coast guard ship to Vietnam, marking the cooperation agreement signed between the two countries’ coast guard forces in 2021.

The delegation will pay visits to leaders of the Coast Guard Region No. 3 Command under the Vietnam Coast Guard and the Ba Ria - Vung Tau Province People's Committee.

According to Nguyen Minh Khanh, Deputy Commander of the Coast Guard Region No. 3 Command, this visit reaffirms the cooperation between the two armies in general and their coast guard forces, promoting the traditional friendship and strategic partnership between the two countries.

He believed it offers a chance for young officers from both sides to exchange experiences and improve their professional qualifications and practical skills in law enforcement, search and rescue at sea, and handling marine environmental incidents.

The two countries are also preparing for the celebration of the 70th anniversary of diplomatic ties (December 30, 2025), cited VNS.
