has sent a message of sympathy to Cambodian
People's Party (CPP) President and Prime Minister of Cambodia Samdech Techo Hun
Sen over the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
In the message, the Vietnamese Party leader, on behalf of the
Party, State and people of Vietnam and in his own capacity, offered fraternal
sentiments and heart-felt sympathy to Cambodia over the losses caused by the
pandemic.
Noting that COVID-19 continues to wreck serious impacts on human health and
every aspect of socio-economic life in all countries, including Vietnam and
Cambodia, General Secretary Trong said Vietnam has been keeping a close watch
on the pandemic situation in the neighbouring country and deeply understanding
the difficulties that Cambodia is facing.
“We value the measures that the CPP and the Cambodia Government
have undertaken to prevent and control the COVID-19 pandemic in the recent past,
and believe that under the CPP’s sound leadership and the drastic governance of
the Cambodian Government led by Samdech Techo Hun Sen, along with the support
and unity of Cambodian people, Cambodia will successfully contain the pandemic,”
Trong wrote.
He went on to say that Vietnam has implemented a host of strong
and timely measures to mobilise the involvement of the entire political system
and the entire people in containing the pandemic. Despite the complicated
developments of the pandemic, Vietnam has so far basically curbed the spread of
the pandemic.
This outcome has been appreciated by both the international and domestic
community, General Secretary Trong said, affirming that the Vietnamese Party
and State will continue with drastic measures to contain and minimize sources
of infections, early detect infected patients and promptly give them treatment for
early recovery, while implementing a vaccination campaign against COVID-19.
The Vietnamese Party leader stressed that with the tradition of
solidarity and mutual support between the two Parties, States and peoples,
Vietnam is always ready to cooperate with, support and share experience within
its capacity with Cambodia in the fight against COVID-19, so that the two
countries can stabilize the situation as early as possible.
He took the occasion to thank the CPP and the Cambodian Government for
providing COVD-19 vaccinations for staff members at Vietnam’s representative
missions and Vietnamese students, as well as support for the community of
Cambodians of Vietnamese origin in COVID-19 prevention and control.
On the occasion of the Chol Chnam Thmey festival, the Vietnamese
Party leader wished Hun Sen, the CPP leadership and Cambodian people a happy
new year with good health and prosperity./.
