To reach the destination, the Vietnamese delegation, headed by Colonel Nguyen Van Ngan, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Naval Region 4, had crossed nearly 750 nautical miles in more than three days.

During the voyage, it conducted a long-distance seafaring training, and practiced command training, combat readiness coordination, and weapon and technical equipment mastery.

At the reception ceremony at Batu Ampar, Colonel Agus Izudin, Deputy Commander of the Indonesian Navy’s Base IV, hoped the visit would leave a good impression on the Vietnamese delegation.

On the same day, Vietnamese naval officers paid a courtesy call on the Mayor of Batam city and Commander of the Indonesian Coast Guard in the West of Indonesia.
