Border guard officers visit Cambodia

24 Sept, 2009

A delegation of the High Command of the Border Guard of Vietnam, headed by its Deputy Commander Nguyen Phuoc Loi, is paying a friendship visit to Cambodia from September 22-25.

On September 23, the officers visited the Supreme Command Headquarters of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF), where they met with General Pol Saroeun.

The General warmly welcomed the Vietnamese delegation, describing their visit as proof of the friendship between the armies of the two fraternal nations.

Both sides reviewed the results of cooperation between the border guard forces of Vietnam and Cambodia, and shared experiences in maintaining security along their common borderline.

Saroeun emphasised bilateral cooperation in training military officers, saying that hundreds of Cambodian officers were trained in Vietnam and have served effectively in the RCAF in recent years.

Loi said the Vietnamese side has worked closely with their Cambodian counterparts, particularly in the exchange of information and in combating cross-border crimes. These cooperative ties form a firm foundation for Vietnam and Cambodia to build their shared borderline into an area of peace, friendship, cooperation and development, he said.

The same day, the Vietnamese delegates paid a courtesy visit to leaders of the Cambodian Ministry of National Defence and met with Director General of National Police Neth Savoeun. The guests are scheduled to visit Cambodia ’s south-western-most province, Koh Kong, on September 24 and 25 before concluding their visit.
