Xinhua, February 17, 2017 Adjust font size:

Cambodia and Vietnam on Friday pledged to further enhance their bilateral cooperation in public security, combating cross-border crimes, and police training.

The pledge was made here during a meeting between Cambodian Interior Ministry secretary of state Em Sam An and Vietnamese Public Security Ministry deputy minister Nguyen Van Thanh.

According to the agreed minutes signed by the two senior officials, both sides would increase the exchange of information and situation in order to ensure security and safety in their respective countries.

The two sides agreed to prevent Vietnam's Montagnard ethnic minority groups from illegally crossing over the border to Cambodia, the agreed minutes said.

Also, they agreed to push for cooperation with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to end, as soon as possible, the procedures of returning the Montagnards entered Cambodia illegally to Vietnam.
