Vietnam, Cambodia promote mutual understanding

Vietnam and Cambodia will hold cultural exchanges for their young people in order to help them understand the lives, customs and cultural traditions of each other’s country and strengthen solidarity and mutual assistance.

This was part of the action plan adopted at the fourth meeting of the southern chapter of the Vietnam-Cambodian Friendship Association (VCFA), held in Ho Chi Minh City on July 2.

VCFA Chairman Vu Mao asked the association’s members to pay more attention to boosting economic cooperation between cities, towns, and villages in the two countries.

The Vietnam-Cambodia Business Club, set up by the VCFA in 2008, now has over 60 members, including the military-run mobile phone company Viettel, Vietnam Rubber Corp and Me Linh Group, which have productively invested in Cambodia.

The club plans to open a Vietnamese representative office and build a trade centre in Phnom Penh.
