The inauguration ceremony was attended by Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Men Sam An, Standing Vice Chairman and General Secretary of the National Council of the Solidarity Front for the Development of Cambodian Motherland Nhem Valy, Governor of Kratie Va Khon and Vietnamese Military Attaché in Cambodia Colonel Nguyen Thanh Chinh.

Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Men Sam An affirmed the significance of Cambodia-Vietnam friendship monuments in cities and provinces of Cambodia.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that with the wholehearted support of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers, patriotic Cambodians defeated the Pol Pot genocidal regime and revived the country.

According to her, the inauguration is more meaningful as it was organized at a time when the government and people of Cambodia are celebrating the 41st anniversary of the victory over the Pol Pot genocidal regime (January 7^th, 1979 – January 7^th, 2020).

This is the 17th out of 22 friendship monuments to be upgraded or built across Cambodia./.
