Prak Sokhonn, Chairman of the CPP Central Committee’s Commission for External Relations who is also Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, and Kem Sambath received the gifts.

Kem Sambath thanked the CPV’s Commission for External Relations for the gifts, saying that they will help Cambodia in general and the CPP Central Committee’s agencies in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

The gifts are evidence of friendship and solidarity between the two Parties and countries, he said.

Vietnamese Ambassador to Cambodia Vu Quang Minh said as the pandemic has been causing adverse impacts on the development and heavy losses of humans around the world, all countries need to join hands in the fight against COVID-19 in a bid to bring a safe and peaceful life back to people, including those of Vietnam and Cambodia.

The gifts show the CPV and Vietnamese people’s sincere sentiments to their Cambodian counterparts, he said.
