The move is part of joint efforts to implement a cooperation agreement signed in October, 2005 with the aim of repelling the trafficking of women and children as well as providing them with assistance.

On the sidelines of the workshop, Vietnam and Cambodia signed another cooperative agreement on confirming and repatriating the victims of human trafficking.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation Hav Bunse praised the workshop’s success, regarding it as new evidence of close cooperation and strong determination to combat against trans-border crimes for the sake of their peoples’ safety.
