PM Phuc meets OVs in Cambodia

The PM made the request at a meeting with OVs and  Vietnamese Embassy and Consulate General staff in Battambang on April 5 as part of his on-going visit to Cambodia where he is attending the third Mekong River Commission (MRC) Summit.

He extended his best wishes to OVs in Cambodia on the occasion of the Khmer New Year and expressed his delight at the Vietnamese Community’s efforts in their lives and serve as a bridge promoting the time-tested friendly relations between the two countries.

The PM briefed them on the sound relations that exist between Vietnam and Cambodia,  and Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen’s recent attendance at the sixth Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS-6) Summit and the 10th Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam Summit on Development Triangle Area (CLV-10) in Vietnam.

The Party and Government of Vietnam have always given special attention to OVs, particularly Vietnamese expats in Cambodia, Phuc said, while hoping that they will create the best possible conditions for their children to succeed in school, and make the effort to learn the Khmer language, there by facilitating their better integration into Cambodian society.

He asked them to abide by Cambodian law, and make their wholehearted contributions to the  strong development of the host country while preserving the Vietnamese language and their own cultural identities and traditions.

On the occasion, PM Phuc presented gifts to some poor families of Vietnamese Cambodian.
