Mr Hung made the statement while meeting with representatives of overseas Vietnamese living in six southern Cambodian provinces at the Vietnamese Consulate General in SihanoukVille province on September 18.

He spoke highly of the great contributions made by OVs in Cambodia during the revolutionary cause under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
Overseas Vietnamese should integrate deeper into the Cambodian society, abide by the law and respect the country’s customs, he recommended.

The NA Chairman expressed his belief that the Vietnamese community in Cambodia will uphold the tradition of patriotism, solidarity and mutual assistance to build a stable life in their second homeland, helping foster the friendship and solidarity between the two nations.

He also said that his visit to Cambodia aimed to further consolidate and strengthen the friendly neighborliness, solidarity and mutual trust between the two countries’ leaders and people.

Earlier, NA Chairman Hung and his entourage offered incense and laid a wreath at the monument to Vietnamese volunteer soldiers in the province.

He also visited SihanoukVille Port, one of the largest seaports in Cambodia, which was built in 1956.
