The handover was carried out by Cambodian authorities in coordination with the Tinh Bien International Border Gate Border Guard Station and relevant Vietnamese agencies.

According to initial information, the citizens, mostly from northern, central, Central Highlands and Mekong Delta localities, had entered Cambodia through different border crossings at various times to seek employment.

Cambodia’s General Department of Immigration under the Ministry of Interior deported the group for violations of regulations related to immigration, labour and residency.

Following the handover, border guards and competent forces conducted health checks, provided initial medical support, and completed legal and administrative procedures for the returnees.

During the screening and verification process, authorities also identified a number of individuals who had previously been repatriated from Cambodia and banned from re-entering the country, but later returned illegally.

After reception procedures were completed, the citizens were transferred to the An Giang Police and other relevant agencies for further investigation and processing in line with legal regulations.
