A delegation from the Cambodian Royal Army’s Infantry Command has been on a working visit to Vietnam’s southwestern provinces.

The delegation was received by Son Song Son, Deputy Head of the Southwestern Region’s Steering Board, in Can Tho city on December 19, who briefed them on socio-economic development in the region and the lives of local residents, who include more than 1 million Khmer ethnic people.

Mr Son stated that the Vietnamese Party and State have always paid due attention to developing the economy and improving the living conditions for the nation’s ethnic minorities, as well as supporting them in maintaining and preserving their cultural treasures and heritage. He also informed the guests that the number of poor ethnic families in the southwestern region has been steadily reduced and that their children have been provided with a decent standard of education.

The Cambodian delegation will join celebrations marking the 64th establishment anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army on December 22.
