Cambodia, Vietnam vow to expand cooperation in humanitarian activities

Xinhua, June 15, 2016 Adjust font size:

Cambodian and Vietnamese leaders on Wednesday pledged to expand bilateral cooperation in humanitarian activities for mutual benefits, a Cambodian senior official said.

The pledge was made during a meeting here between Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen and visiting Vietnamese President Tran Dai Quang, said Eang Sophalleth, a personal assistant to the prime minister.

He said the Cambodian leader suggested that the two countries have agreements on emergency rescue cooperation and water consumption along the border.

Samdech Techo Hun Sen also requested that Vietnam charge the same medical fees from Cambodian patients as it does from Vietnamese patients because many Cambodians have currently sought medical services in Vietnam.

For his part, Tran Dai Quang agreed with the suggestions and promised to make them come true in the near future.

The Vietnamese leader arrived here on Tuesday for a three-day state visit.

Earlier on Wednesday, he met separately with King Norodom Sihamoni, Senate President Samdech Say Chhum, and National Assembly President Samdech Heng Samrin. Endit
