Kien Giang (VNA) – Delegations from
the southern province of Kien Giang have visited, extended greetings, and
presented gifts to localities, agencies, and armed forces in Cambodia on the
occasion of their Chol Chnam Thmay festival.
Heads of the delegations offered best regard and wishes to the Cambodian side and emphasised that
Vietnam and Cambodia are neighbours with a long history and traditional
solidarity.
Every year, on the occasion of the traditional
New Year of each country, leaders of Cambodian bordering provinces/cities and
armed forces and Kien Giang province send delegations to visit and extend New
Year wishes as an annual practice to tighten the two sides’ solidarity and friendship.
Kien Giang and Cambodia’s border provinces
have kept promoting exchanges and cooperation in various fields including
culture, trade, tourism, people-to-people exchanges, and search and repatriation of
remains of Vietnamese experts and volunteers who died in the Cambodian
battlefield. Especially, the localities coordinate to ensure security and
safety along the two countries’ borders.
Receiving the Vietnamese delegations, Cambodian representatives thanked Kien Giang provincial Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee, and its Vietnam Fatherland Front for their greetings. They emphasised the valuable traditions and good neighbourship of the two countries and peoples./.
