Türkiye and Vietnam have signed a new defence cooperation protocol on Tuesday during the 17th International Defence Industry Fair (IDEF) 2025 in Istanbul, marking a significant step forward in bilateral military ties.
The agreement was signed by Deputy Defence Ministers Musa Heybet of Türkiye and Lieut. Gen. Hoang Xuan Chien of Vietnam. It outlines broad collaboration across air, land, and sea platforms, as well as support from Turkish defence industry companies.
“This protocol will pave the way for many future-focused projects and joint efforts,” said Heybet, adding that Ankara would provide full support through the Ministry of National Defense and its affiliated companies.
Chien described the signing as an "historic moment" and signalled Vietnam’s intention to deepen ties with Türkiye:
“We are ready to do everything in our power to become allies.”
IDEF 2025 runs for six days across multiple venues in Istanbul, including the Fair Center, Ataturk Airport, WOW Hotel, and Atakoy Marina.
The event is organised by KFA Fairs with support from the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation and the Defence Industries Secretariat (SSB). Anadolu is the global communication partner.
