Speaking at the event, head of the station Lieut. Col. Dinh Cong Thong suggested both sides jointly safeguard border areas in the spirit of respecting the two nations’ border sovereignty.

As reported by VNA, border guard stations under the provincial Border Guard Command are ready to buy food and necessities for Cambodian counterparts to partly ease their difficulties amid the pandemic, he said.

The two sides pledged to uphold the fine tradition of the two countries to work closely together on border protection, crime prevention and control, thus building a borderline of peace, friendship, cooperation and development.

On the occasion, the Ia O border station also presented food, necessities and medical supplies to its Cambodian counterparts.

In late July, Police of the Central Highlands province of Dak Nong on July 30 presented gifts and medical supplies worth 100 million VND (4,300 USD) to help their counterpart in Cambodia’s Mondulkiri province fight COVID-19.

The hand-over ceremony was held at a border marker along the Vietnam-Cambodia border in Tuy Duc district.

Colonel Bui Quang Thanh, Director of Dak Nong’s Police, suggested the two sides work harder to guarantee security and order along the border, thus tightening the friendship between the two provinces as well as the fine neighbourliness between Vietnam and Cambodia, VNA said.

Lauding cooperation between the forces of the two provinces over the past time, Thanh expressed his hope that the relationship will be lifted to a new high in the time ahead.

Lieutenant-General Lao Sokha, Director of Mondulkiri’s Police, thanked his Vietnamese colleagues for their sentiments and timely, practical support which, he said, serve as a source of encouragement for his staff to full their tasks.

Mondulkiri’s police will continue the close coordination with their counterpart in Dak Nong across spheres, contributing to ensuring security and order along the common border, he pledged.
