At the reception, PM Hun Sen highly valued the support and assistance of the Vietnamese Government and people to Cambodia and the country’s radio and television industry in particular.
In 1978, with the assistance of the VOV, Cambodia sent out radio news in the Khmer language, helping the country win the struggle against the Pol Pot genocidal regime, he said.
Thanks to the support of the Vietnamese side, Cambodia has broadened the radio network across its cities and provinces, he added.
PM Hun Sen suggested the VOV and the National Radio of Cambodia (NRC) cooperate in adjusting and delimiting their broadcasting frequencies at shared border areas to ensure the quality of their programmes.
Informing his host about the implementation of a cooperation programme between the VOV and the NRC, Tien said since 2008, the VOV has installed 15 radio stations with capacities ranging from 2 KW to 20 KW across Cambodia.
Earlier on the day, Tien and his entourage had working sessions with leaders of the NRC and the National Television of Cambodia.-VNA
