HÀ NỘI — ASEAN defence ministers adopted a joint declaration on a strategic security vision at the 7th ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting Plus (ADMM+) held via videoconference yesterday, chaired by Việt Nam.
The declaration has an important meaning in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, showing the unity, commitment and determination of ADMM + member countries to enhance defence co-operation, contributing to peace, stability and development in the region and the world.
At the meeting, participants agreed to continue promoting defence co-operation and discussed regional and international issues of common concern.
They stressed that ADMM+ member countries had increased co-operation and maintained regular exchanges and co-operation via digital platforms despite COVID-19.
They applauded Việt Nam’s efforts to adapt to the new situation and implementing initiatives and priorities set for its ASEAN Chairmanship role this year amid the complex developments of the pandemic.
Việt Nam has held ASEAN defence meetings, ensuring security, safety and efficiency; and proposed and implemented many initiatives in disease prevention and control as well as carrying out co-operation activities within the ADMM+ framework, they said.
They highlighted the progress of the ADMM+ over the past 10 years, particularly practical co-operation activities like humanitarian aid and disaster relief, maritime security, military medicine, counter-terrorism and peacekeeping, contributing to building capacity and enhancing the co-ordination ability of member countries to respond to traditional and non-traditional security challenges
Vietnamese Minister of National Defence, Gen. Ngô Xuân Lịch said ASEAN defence co-operation continued to be a bright spot although the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted all aspects of life across the globe.
The defence channel has proved its role not only in disease prevention and control efforts but also in regional co-operation, he said.
In the context of travel restrictions due to COVID-19, many initiatives and new methods have been implemented to promote co-operation within ASEAN and between ASEAN and its counterparts, he said. — VNS
