Cambodian officials extend New Year greetings to Long An
Long An (VNA) – Delegations from Cambodia’s Svay Rieng and Pray Veng provinces
visited the Mekong Delta province of Long An on January 20 to extend their
greetings on the occasion of Vietnam’s traditional Lunar New Year.
Chairman of Long
An provincial People’s Committee Tran Van Can welcomed the guests and affirmed
the solidarity and close relationship between Vietnam and Cambodia, which have
been nurtured by generations of leaders and people of both countries.
He applauded the
expanding cooperation between Long An and Svay Rieng and Pray Veng provinces,
especially in trade, services, health and education.
Annually, Long
An sends many teams to Cambodia to carry out health checks and distribute free
medicine to poor people in the two Cambodian localities.
Svay Rieng and
Pray Veng have created favourable conditions for Long An to search, collect and
repatriate remains of Vietnamese soldiers who died in Cambodia.
They also
coordinated closely in demarcating borderline and planting border markers and
in ensuring security and order at border areas.
The two sides
shared the wish that the long-standing friendship between Long An and two
provinces will ever grow.-VNA
