At the reception, Vinh reviewed recent defence cooperation between the two sides and touched upon a series of events that will get underway in 2013.

The Vietnam Ministry of National Defence and the US Department of Defence signed a cooperation agreement in 2011, which has provided a favourable framework for bilateral cooperation in defence, Vinh said

Yun said he hopes that both nations will also continue promoting bilateral cooperation in defence, as well as economics, trade, development and education.

Host and guest said they hope the two defence agencies will cooperate closely in searching the remains of US servicemen missing in action during the war in Vietnam, as well as deactivating bombs and landmines left over from the war and providing humanitarian aid.sed private equity group
