Vietnamese, Cambodian military units foster cooperative ties
PANO – On August 1, at Svay Rieng Military Sub-region, the Tay Ninh provincial Military Command and the Cambodian military sub-regions of Svay Rieng, Tbong Khmun, Oddar Meancheay, and Prey Veng held a meeting on twinning activities in the last half of 2017.
From the beginning of 2017, the Vietnamese unit well cooperated with the Cambodian military sub-regions to organize 42 information exchange sessions and handled seven cases of border security violations. Many cultural exchanges and sport activities were also held. In addition, the Tay Ninh provincial Military Command supported the four Cambodian military sub-regions with infrastructure, economic development and assurance of social security.
The Cambodian military sub-regions closely worked with the K teams of Vietnam for search and repatriation of remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and specialists. Accordingly, they have collected 674 sets of remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers laying down their lives while doing international service in Cambodia.
During the event, the two sides discussed solutions for information dissemination and education work. In addition, they should grasp situations in the area and share information for timely solutions under any circumstances and prevent hostile forces from using their areas to undermine national security of each country and long-lasting solidarity of the two peoples of Vietnam and Cambodia.
On this occasion, the Tay Ninh provincial Military Command also held a cultural exchange and sport activity.
