He thanked the Vietnamese Party and Government and Ho Chi Minh City for supporting Cambodia in its difficult times and in the current period of national development.
The get-together was a curtain raiser to 20 events to be held by the Vietnam-Cambodia Friendship Association in Ho Chi Minh City in 2017 to mark the 50th anniversary of Vietnamese-Cambodian diplomatic relations.
