A delegation of 10 Vietnamese army commanders led by Maj-Gen. Tran Phi Ho, commander of Vietnam's Military Region Nine based in Hau Giang-Kien Giang province has paid a visit to the headquarter of Cambodian Military Region Five at Rattanak Mondul in Battambang on Tuesday, 29th March.

The Vietnamese military delegation was escorted by Lt-Gen. Prak Sovan, Deputy Commander of Royal Cambodian Army, and was cordially received by Maj-Gen. Bun Seng, Commander of Cambodia's Military Region Five, at the military regional headquarter in Battambang.

During the visit of the Vietnamese army chiefs, Gen. Bun Seng had briefed them of the Cambodian-Thai military conflict, the Thai aggression as well as Thailand's insincerity in resolving the conflict at Preah Vihear temple peacefully. Gen. Bun Seng also briefed the Vietnamese army chiefs about the Cambodian-Thai conflict at O'Bei Choan, O'Chrov district in Banteay Meanchey province where seven Thai trespassers were arrested on 29th December, 2010.

Gen. Bun Seng thanked Vietnam People's Army for its continuous supports of the Cambodian army. He said Vietnam's Military Region Nine has helped Cambodia's Military Region Five since 2007 in constructing its headquarter, building hospital, providing military and technical training as well as training on how to repair and maintain weapons and military hardware. On top of this, Cambodia's Military Region Five has helped to find 279 remains of Vietnamese soldiers killed in the 1980s in Pursat, Battambang, Pailin and Banteay Meanchey provinces.

In response to Gen. Bun Seng's speech, Gen. Tran Phi Ho said Vietnamese People's Army is implementing the memorandum of understanding which was signed by the ministries of defence of both countries in 2010. Gen. Tran Phi Ho said Vietnam has acknowledged and noted the recent Cambodian-Thai conflict. He said the recent Thai-American naval exercise in the Gulf of Thailand was a show of American weapons and military hardware. He said Vietnam's Military Region Nine Five accepted request from Cambodia's Military Region Five to continue its military assistance. He said Vietnam's military will continue to strengthen the quality and capability of the Cambodian army.

Vietnam's military delegation's visit to Cambodia came after a visit of the delegation of the North Korean military to the kingdom.

Khmer and Vietnam military delegation will set the date for the joint exercise along Khmer-Thai border from Koh Kong to Preah Vihear Province.On the other hand,Lao embassy spokesman in Phnom Penh announced Xayabury Dame project is shelved indefinitely for now so Lao forces are free and willing to joint this military exercise as well. We did not know what Thai official reaction would be to this plan yet. But some so called Thai citizens living in Battambang however express their excitement of the prospect of set up small tents to sell their famous " Num Akow", the traditional Thai steam buns to all the soldiers participate in this coming big drill to test at an affordable price.
