Troops from Japan, the United States, and Australia have arrived in Vietnam for defense exchanges with local forces.
The transport vessel Kunisaki of Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force arrived at a port in the central Vietnamese city of Da Nang on Friday.
It carried about 190 personnel from the Self-Defense Forces, as well as 140 troops from the US and Australia.
The visit is part of the US-led annual humanitarian mission called Pacific Partnership, which aims to promote defense exchanges with Southeast Asian nations.
The troops from the 3 countries began 10 days of activities with their Vietnamese counterparts, including medical services and sports, to strengthen cooperation.
The exchanges come amid rising tension between Vietnam and China over a territorial dispute in the South China Sea.
