Binh Phuoc (VNA) - Binh Phuoc provincial authorities on March 8 held a working session with a delegation from Cambodia’s provinces of Kratie, Mondulkiri and Tbong Khmum to strengthen cooperation between the two countries’ localities.

The southern locality and the Cambodian provinces will continue implementing signed memoranda of understanding (MoU), with the aim to foster links in economy, culture, security, defence and investment.

Binh Phuoc will transfer agricultural production techniques and scientific advances to help Cambodian localities develop their agricultural sector.

Doctors from the provincial Red Cross Society will also be sent to Cambodian border localities to provide free medical check-ups and medicine to poor people.

According to the provincial People’s Committee, Binh Phuoc and Cambodian border provinces have signed two MoU on economic cooperation since 2014.
