Addressing the event,
Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Thanh Phong said braving
ups and downs over the last five decades, the two countries’ friendship has
become a priceless asset. Bilateral cooperation has been lifted to a new level
under the motto "good neighbourliness, traditional friendship, comprehensive
cooperation and long-term sustainability”, reeling in a number of achievements
in all aspects.
As an economic, cultural and scientific-technological centre in Vietnam, HCM
City has made efforts to realise the two countries’ policies, thus greatly
contributing to bilateral ties through cooperation activities with Cambodian
localities, particularly the capital city of Phnom Penh, he said.
The city’s administration and people pledge to actively work to reinforce and
develop the time-tested friendship and all-round cooperation between the two
countries’ Governments and people, thereby contributing to stability, peace,
cooperation and development in the region and the world, he added.
Phong expressed his belief that on the basis of the two sides’ long-standing
friendship and non-stop efforts, relations between Vietnam and Cambodia, as
well as between HCM City and Phnom Penh, will bring about even greater
attainments in the time ahead.
Consul General of Cambodia to HCM City Im Heng said the traditional friendship,
built and nurtured by late King Norodom Sihanouk, Vietnamese leaders and the
two countries’ people, has been growing in all spheres.
He affirmed that the Cambodian people never forget the assistance of Vietnam’s
Party, State, army and people in overthrowing the Pol Pot genocidal regime and
building the country since the 80s.
He added he believes bilateral relations will continue developing sustainably
in the time ahead.
Also on June
29, a photo exhibition was
opened on Nguyen Hue walking street in District 1 of HCM City, featuring 95

After three years of implementing the Politburo’s Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW on continuing performing Directive 05-CT/TW on enhancing the learning and studying of President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, moral example and lifestyle, Lac Thuy district of Hoa Binh province has discovered many effective models and practices, creating a spillover effect in the local community, helping to develop a clean and strong Party Organisation meeting the requirements in the new situation.

Seventy years have passed, but the memories of the Dien Bien Phu campaign in 1954 have never faded in the mind of veteran Ly Van Ngoan from Dong Tien hamlet, Phu Thanh commune, Lac Thuy district.
Over recent times, in Mai Chau district, there have been many typical examples of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and lifestyle in all aspects of the social life, contributing to successfully implementing the tasks of socio-economic development, and ensuring social welfare and defence and security in the locality.
