The United Nations (UN) Department of Field Support (DFS) announced the decision on Monday following its inspection of training sites for the UN peacekeeping forces in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The selection of Vietnam as the first training location amongst ASEAN nations demonstrates the UN’s high evaluation of Vietnam’s commitments and contributions to the UN peacekeeping activities. Vietnam is preparing to send a second-level field hospital to South Sudan.
