A view of the working session

In recent years, the Military Medical University of Vietnam has trained Cambodian military medical students under the annual cooperation program between the two defense ministries. Cambodian trainees who have completed their studies in Vietnam have effectively applied the knowledge and skills they acquired to practice, contributing to the development of Cambodia’s military medical sector and national construction efforts.

On this occasion, General Nim Mealea expressed his gratitude to the host for its support in training human resources for Cambodia’s military medicine.

During the meeting, both sides emphasized that cooperation in military medicine between Vietnam and Cambodia has become increasingly substantive, with a focus on human resource development. The two universities exchanged views on their capacities and needs, creating a foundation to strengthen their future cooperation and to further promote collaboration in military medicine between the defense ministries of the two countries.

General Tien highlighted the good relationship between the Military Medical University of Vietnam and the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces’ Military Medical Academy. In the time ahead, he hoped that the cooperation between the two units will continue to grow, thereby enhancing the close ties between the two peoples and militaries in general, and between the two military medical sectors in particular.

“This cooperation will help open new directions for future collaboration, improve the quality of military medical training, and make positive contribution to healthcare for the armed forces and the people of both nations,” said General Tien.
