30 Vietnamese firefighters, representatives of the Ministry of National Defense and Cambodian officers participated in the training, which was conducted in collaboration with the Public Security Ministry.

The training aims to help Vietnamese and Cambodian firefighters better cope with accidents in industrial zones or in the process of transporting chemicals. For three days, French experts shared their experiences with Vietnamese and Cambodian colleagues, introduced rescue techniques in case of accidents involving hazardous materials, before performing some accident simulation exercises, with the use of specialized vehicles.

Trainers and trainees discussed their experience of handling accidents that occurred in France, Europe or Asia, and the variability of risks associated with economic development or energy transition.

Vietnam and France have cooperated for many years in the field of civil security and this is the first time the two countries have cooperated on a specific topic. For this training, France mobilized three fire officers, from Lyon and New Caledonia. The training course is sponsored by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, Department of Security and Defense Cooperation (DCSD).
