They discussed measures to promote cultural co-operation between the two countries and agreed to further strengthen co-operation in training officials who work in the cultural and fine arts fields, especially in training young artisans to preserve cultural tangible and intangible values.

The two sides also discussed plans to organise “Vietnamese Cultural Days in Cambodia” and Cambodian Cultural Days in Vietnam” in September and November.

During their stay in Vietnam, the Cambodian delegation was scheduled to visit some cultural units in Hanoi, Quang Ninh and Ho Chi Minh City.
