Vietnamese neutral officer at the 14th Asean Armies Rifle Meet (AARM), Capt. Duong Van Huynh, said the 14th AARM being hosted by the Indonesian National Army in Cilodong, West Java, is well organized.

The organizing com-mitee involves adequate number of personnel in the holding of the 14th AARM so that they can cover many things in organizing the shooting event among the armies of the ASEAN member countries, Huynh said here Saturday.

"I also see that the shooting ranges are well prapared and the assistant personnel look well trained for the event and they are very helpful to us," the newly-married officer said.

Although doing a hard job, Huynh said he could en-joy being a neutral officer during the ongoing shooting competition because he can communicate and get acquainted with soldiers from other ASEAN member countries.

According to Huynh, his country is expected to host the AARM in 2006 with at least the same quality of organizing the. event as what has been done by Indonesia, by preparing enough or even better facilities and accomodation for all the contingents.

However, the Vietnames neutral officer at the pist,, match-3a admitted he and other members of the Vietnamese contingent must adjust themselves to the hot weather in Cilodong as the climate in' their country is fairer and even cooler.

On the target his team would reach at the 14th AARM, Huynh said his side has set no target in the shooting event but try to ma.' ke it a means to enhance cooperation, solidarity and friendshi
among the armies of the ASEAN`: member countries.
