Vietnam’s southwestern region steering board has sent a delegation to Cambodia to boost neighbourliness, including border security both in land and at sea.

During their ten-day stay up to January 20, the Vietnamese guests visited the sisterly provinces of KeP, Campot, Preah Sihanouk and Koh Kong and the Riem naval base.

The southwestern Vietnamese delegation, led by Son Song Son, Deputy Head of the steering board and member of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee, mulled with the host issues on border security, including fishing operations from both sides.

The two parties went deep into difficulties and advantages for residents on the either side of the common border so as to make joint efforts in providing favourable conditions for them to earn their livings.

Host and guest also discussed concrete measures to boost relations between sisterly provinces, including plans and orientations on cooperation in all fields, ranging from economics to culture and science-technology.

The Vietnamese delegation also called on at the Khmer ethnic community of the southern Vietnamese origin, encouraging them to work hard and abide by law in the resident country.

The Vietnamese delegates advised them not to follow incitements into sabotages against the Vietnamese and Cambodian states by hostile forces.

The Vietnamese guests also visited monks and nuns at the Ong Ta Ming pagoda in Phnom Penh and had working sessions with Minister of Information Khieu Kanharith and the Senate’s Office./.
