Of that figure, Vietnam’s exports to Cambodia earned about US$1.45 billion, according to Cambodian data.

Moreover, a new primary school for overseas Vietnamese children officially opened in Cambodia’s capital city of Phnom Penh on August 30 to mark the 64th anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day (September 2) and the August Revolution. The Khmer-Vietnam Tan Tien School , a three-storey building with more than 10 classrooms, is located on an area of 1,200 sq. m in Mienchay district, Phnom Penh , according to a VNA report earlier week.
Pok Vorn, former deputy director pf municipality education department said that the school is trying to educate Vietnamese pupils.
“The Cambodian Government also recognized a Vietnamese association in the country and I think we exercise fairly for the other ethnics to implement their rights. The government also allowed opening Cham and Chinese people to open schools and associations and I think it will help the Government to work with them,” he said.
Cambodian Government spokesman and Information Minister Khieu Kanarith will lead a delegation to Vietnam September 5-6 to join the Khmer Buddhist ceremony of P’Chum Ben in Tra Vinh province southern Vietnam. Over 100 Government officials and a group of about 30 Cambodian journalists also will accompany the Cambodian delegation to Vietnam, the officials said yesterday. Both sides are trying to have mutual understanding in strengthening the bilateral cooperation and relationship, analysts said.
Vietnamese troops liberated Cambodia from the Pol Pot Regime in 1979, though some call the event, which contributed to long lasting Vietnamese influence in Cambodia, an invasion.
