A Solid Foundation for Future Collaboration

On 30 October, the 22nd meeting of the Belarusian–Vietnamese Joint Commission on Military-Technical Cooperation took place in Minsk. The Belarusian delegation was led by Dmitry Pantus, Minister of the State Authority for Military Industry (SAMI), whilst the Vietnamese delegation was led by Senior Lieutenant General Nguyễn Văn Hiền, Deputy Minister of National Defence of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Prior to the meeting, the co-chairs held a restricted session, which was followed by talks in an extended format. The parties reviewed progress in implementing previous agreements, discussed technological cooperation, and identified new prospective avenues for joint work in the coming years.

The intensive and productive dialogue concluded with the signing of a final protocol, laying a solid foundation for a new phase of bilateral military-technical cooperation. The document was signed by Dmitry Pantus and Nguyễn Văn Hiền.

The final protocol outlines the outcomes of the work carried out and the agreements reached on deepening technological cooperation, clearly defining new priorities for joint military-technical engagement in the near term. The practical implementation of these plans will make a major contribution to enhancing the defence capabilities and national security of both countries.
