During a meeting with overseas Vietnamese in Phnom Penh on November 29, VFF President Huynh Dam highlighted efforts made by the Vietnamese community in Cambodia in strengthening solidarity and mutual assistance. Despite difficulties, they have preserved Vietnam’s cultural identity, contributing to building and developing the country of residence, he said.

Mr Dam also spoke highly of their active fundraising for flood victims in the homeland and wished that they would continue upholding the tradition of solidarity and friendship with Cambodia.
