Cambodian officials extend New Year greetings to Long An

Chairman of Long An provincial People’s Committee Tran Van Can welcomed the guests and affirmed the solidarity and close relationship between Vietnam and Cambodia, which have been nurtured by generations of leaders and people of both countries.

He applauded the expanding cooperation between Long An and Svay Rieng and Pray Veng provinces, especially in trade, services, health and education.

Annually, Long An sends many teams to Cambodia to carry out health checks and distribute free medicine to poor people in the two Cambodian localities.

Svay Rieng and Pray Veng have created favourable conditions for Long An to search, collect and repatriate remains of Vietnamese soldiers who died in Cambodia.

They also coordinated closely in demarcating borderline and planting border markers and in ensuring security and order at border areas.

The two sides shared the wish that the long-standing friendship between Long An and two provinces will ever grow.
