At a meeting, VOV President Nguyen The Ky briefed the guests on VOV history during the struggle for national defence and construction as well as its development with four types of media today. He recalled the sound traditional friendship between the two countries and between VOV and Radio National of Kampuchea in particular in the past and at present.
Mr Ky emphasized on the meaning of comprehensive and close cooperation between the two radios in the future, especially in information exchange and personnel training.
