The Cambodian and Vietnamese news agencies have agreed to implement a technical assistance project as soon as it is approved by the Vietnam-Cambodia Inter-Governmental Committee at its meeting in Preah Sihanouk early next month.
The agreement was reached at a working session between General Director Kit Kim Huon of the Cambodian News Agency (AKP) and Deputy General Director Nguyen Duc Loi of the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) who is on a week-long visit to Cambodia beginning on Nov. 15.
After briefing each other on their current capacity and new developments in recent years, they reviewed the implementation of technical assistance and professional cooperation agreements that were signed between the two news agencies’ leaders.
Deputy General Director Loi pledged that the VNA, in its capacity, will continue to help AKP train human resources and improve its professional capacity so as to meet the increasing demand for information.
AKP leader Kit Kim Huon expressed her sincere thanks to the VNA for its valuable assistance to AKP over more than 30 years. “This assistance is a symbol of the friendship between the two news agencies in particular and between Cambodia and Vietnam in general,” she added.
While in Cambodia, Deputy General Director Loi and his entourage had meetings with Cambodian Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Men Sam Orn and Information Minister Khieu Kanharith who highlighted the VNA’s assistance to and cooperation with SPK in the past and AKP at present.
