The military force is led by Major General Pham Van Ty, Deputy Director of the Ministry of National Defence's Search and Rescue Department, while the public security team is headed by Colonel Nguyen Minh Khuong, Deputy Director of the Police Department of Fire Fighting, Fire Prevention and Rescue under the Ministry of Public Security.

The Vietnamese delegation was welcomed at the airport by Yangon Region Chief Minister U Soe Thein, along with Vietnamese Ambassador to Myanmar Ly Quoc Tuan, Defence Attaché Colonel Dao Van Duy, and staff members from the Vietnamese Embassy in Myanmar.

In response to Myanmar’s request for assistance, Vietnam has offered an emergency aid package worth US $300,000 to support earthquake recovery efforts.

The move reflects the Vietnamese Party, State, and people's solidarity with Myanmar, a fellow ASEAN member, in overcoming and mitigating the aftermath of the natural disaster. It embodies Vietnam’s tradition of “love others as we love ourselves”, international responsibility, and the country's humanitarian commitment.

It reflects Vietnam’s deep commitment to regional solidarity and the country’s longstanding tradition of mutual support and compassion. It further strengthens the 50-year diplomatic ties between Vietnam and Myanmar and the close cooperation between Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security and Myanmar’s Ministry of Home Affairs.
