Hai said leaders of Dong Thap province always cared about the overseas Vietnamese community in Cambodia who were confronted by the Covid-19 pandemic while dealing with clearance and relocation issues as a result of the floating house and fish raft dismantle orders in Phnom Penh.

Dong Thap leaders said they hoped that the Khmer – Vietnam Association in Cambodia would inform the Vietnamese community about the care and support of Dong Thap authorities and people. At the same time, Dong Thap hoped that the community would stay calm, adhere to the regulations of both countries and not return to Vietnam now due to the complicated Covid situation.

Members of the delegation also provided information on the policies to prevent Covid and efforts to support overseas Vietnamese.
