She made the statement during the union delegation’s visit to Mr. Sok Dareth, Cambodian Consul General to Ho Chi Minh city, to mark the 53rd year since the establishment of the Vietnam - Cambodia diplomatic relationship, on June 23rd.
According to Ms Giang, it is expected that in the last months of 2020, the Vietnam - Cambodia Friendship Association of Can Tho city will grant scholarships to Cambodian students at Can Tho University and Can Tho Medicine and Pharmacy University; maintain the organization of friendly exchanges between young people of the two countries; and organize activities to visit the old battlefields. In particular, it will continue to nurture the solidarity between Vietnam and Cambodia through the program "Nurturing friendship" organized by the Vietnam - Cambodia Friendship Association Central Committee.
Under the program, Cambodian students going to Vietnam to study will be sponsored by families, helping them to have a warm experience when they are away from home, and at the same time helping them to integrate into Vietnamese life, people and culture. In particular, after returning home, they will play the role of ambassadors and be an important bridge for cultural exchanges between the two countries.
Ms Giang expressed her hope that the Cambodian Consulate General will introduce Cambodian businesses and residents about Vietnam, to encourage them to invest in Vietnam in general and Can Tho in particular. “Can Tho and Cambodia need to organize well cultural events to boost mutual understanding, thus promoting economic, trade and service development in both countries,” she said.
Mr. Sok Dareth affirmed that he would do his best to support the exchange activities in Cambodia.
He also pledged to create favourable conditions for Cambodian businesses to seek investment opportunities and experience tourism in Can Tho city; and study to organize cultural exchanges to help businesses and people of the two countries strengthen friendship and cooperation./.
