At the event

Accordingly, the new friendship monument will be built on the foundation of the previous one in Kampong Speu.

Sam Saophal, Director of Kampong Speu’s Department of Cults and Religion, described the monument as a demonstration of the traditional solidarity between Vietnam and Cambodia. People in Kampong Speu always keep in mind the great support of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers in reviving Cambodia, the official stressed.

As reported, this is the 20th out of 22 friendship monuments to be upgraded or built across Cambodia, contributing to affirming the great historical significance of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers’ assistance to the neighboring country in the fight against the Pol Pot genocidal regime.
