France agrees to help Vietnam upgrade military

HANOI, Vietnam -- The French defense minister has agreed to help Vietnam modernize its military on a historic visit to the former colony, state media reported Tuesday.

Vietnam recently bought radar, helicopters and transport aircraft from France, according to French Defense Minister Herve Morin, as the Southeast Asian country gradually tries to upgrade its antiquated armed forces.

“There is a strong demand from Vietnam for France's active participation in the modernization of its army,” Morin was quoted by online newspaper VietnamNet as saying.
