Responding to the urgent appeal for help of the Cambodian people, and also in exercising the legitimate self-defence right to protect the sacred Vietnamese fatherland, the Vietnamese army and people helped the Cambodian people overturn the genocide regime.

This historical victory is an undeniable truth, she affirmed, adding that the Cambodian people have overcome all the hardships to successfully implement reconstruction and confidently integrate into the international community./.
