Penh (VNA) – A Vietnam-Cambodia Friendship Monument was inaugurated

This is the ninth monument completed under a project to build and upgrade 17 Vietnam-Cambodia Friendship Monuments in Cambodia, with funds provided by the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defence, aiming to mark the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries in 2017.
