Vietnam offered Cambodia a collection of books to commemorate Vietnamese-Cambodian friendship at a ceremony in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on November 4.

The books contain images, essays, poems, and songs from many authors about the solidarity and traditional friendship between the two countries.

Vu Mao, Chairman of the Vietnam-Cambodia Friendship Association, emphasised that the books were written in both Vietnamese and Khmer to give young people a clearer view of their history.

Cambodia’s Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Men Sam An praised the books, saying they demonstrate the sincere friendship between the two peoples. Cambodia’s government and people have not forgotten Vietnam’s assistance in liberating their country and establishing peace and stability there.

The books will be donated to several Cambodian schools and government agencies.
