Cambodian military officers visit Coast Guard Region 1

Major General Hoang Van Phai, Deputy Director of the academy, led the delegation.

Senior Colonel Truong Van Hung, Deputy Political Commissar of Coast Guard Region 1 Command, chaired the meeting with the delegation.

Participants exchange experience in political work.

The Military Political Academy delegation paid a courtesy call on the command’s leadership, toured Coast Guard Ship CSB 8004 of Naval Flotilla 11, and took part in a discussion on what the command had achieved and learned in building a cultural environment and carrying out mass mobilization work.

The visit was part of a bilateral defense cooperation plan to strengthen friendship and build capacity for training and developing officers through cooperation between Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense and the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces. It also was intended to strengthen friendship and cooperation between the two militaries, particularly in education, training and political work.

Major General Hoang Van Phai said the visit helped the delegation gain knowledge and practical experience in political work. He said the trainees could draw on what they learned in their end-of-course reports and, once back in Cambodia, apply it to managing and commanding agencies and units, helping strengthen the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces.

The visit also helped deepen solidarity and ties between the Viet Nam People’s Army and the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces and strengthen friendship and cooperation between Viet Nam and Cambodia.
