Cambodian senior official: Vietnam supports peace building in my country
23/6/17
Deputy Prime Minister of Cambodia Men Sam An has
emphasized Vietnam’s assistance in building peace in her country on the
threshold of the 50th founding anniversary of the countries’ diplomatic ties
(June 24, 1967).
She said over the last five decades, Cambodia and Vietnam have built up traditional
solidarity, friendship and cooperation. They have been side by side as
brothers, comrades and neighbors and have obtained enormous victories in
cooperation in all spheres.
During wartime, the two countries jointly fought
the common enemies of French colonialists and American imperialists and
successfully liberate their nations, thus gaining independence, autonomy and
freedom.
The Cambodian people always keep in mind the
support of the people and volunteer soldiers of Vietnam,
who sacrificed their lives to help free Cambodia from Pol Pot’s genocidal
regime on January 7, 1979. After Cambodia
was liberated, Vietnam
strongly assisted the country to organize local administration and build state
power at grassroots levels. It also sent many technical experts to help build a
new country of Cambodia
and prevent the return of the genocidal regime, she noted.
“The great friend Vietnam
helped build peace in Cambodia,”
the Deputy PM stressed.
She said people of the two countries have had
relations in all aspects, especially goods exchange. Travel activities in
border areas are also increasing as both sides agreed to boost transport
connectivity in all forms, from roads, waterways to aviation.
Men Sam An said on behalf of the Cambodia-Vietnam
Friendship Association and the Cambodian people, she thanked the Party, State,
army and people of Vietnam for greatly supporting the Cambodian people
throughout history.
With regard to the milestones in bilateral ties,
she noted the two peoples and armies have been good and faithful neighbors
assisting each other in hardships. The two countries have developed very
close-knit friendship and cooperation and mutual understanding. The Communist
Party of Vietnam and the Cambodian People’s Party also have similar policies
which highlight the friendship spirit and not intervene into each other’s
internal affairs.
To enhance their relations, Vietnam and Cambodia
should maintain all-faceted cooperation, particularly mutual visits to learn
from each other’s experience, the official said, adding that they need to
together resolve problems and difficulties by peaceful measures and avoid the
use of force or weapons.
It is also necessary to educate younger
generations to respect each other and love peace, Deputy PM Men Sam An noted.

Due to the differences in national interests, Cambodia sometimes doesn't support Vietnam on the international and regional arena, especially on the East Sea issue.
