Cambodia’s Independence Day observed in HCM City

The view was shared by Truong Minh Nhat, President of the HCM City Union of Friendship Organisations and Sam Sammouthm, General Consul of Cambodia at a meeting on November 9 to mark Cambodia’s 59^th Independence Day.

They noted that both Vietnam and Cambodia are close neighbours that have treasured the traditional friendship and comprehensive cooperation, and supported each other in the struggle for national liberation.

They said cooperation between the two countries has been strengthened in various areas, with bilateral trade reaching nearly US$2.8 billion in 2011.

At present there are nearly 100 Vietnamese-invested projects in Cambodia with a total capitalization of more than US$2.2 billion, mostly in telecommunications, banking, energy, rubber planting, and farm produce processing.

Nhat and Sammouthm vowed to work closer together to lift bilateral relationship to new heights.
