 Khmer Times | 1 June 2016

Vietnam’s National Defense Minister Ngo Xuan Lich committed to expanding bilateral military cooperation with Cambodia in a meeting with Prime Minister Hun Sen at the Peace Palace yesterday.
 

Mr. Xuan Lich spoke to Mr. Hun Sen during his three-day official visit to the Kingdom. He will meet with Defense Minister Tea Banh today.
 

Kao Kim Hourn, a minister attached to the prime minister’s office, told media that Vietnam has previously assisted Cambodia’s military.
 

“He [Mr. Xuan Lich] said he will continue cooperation by providing army officials for training and building human resources in the sector,” Dr. Kim Hourn said.
 

He added that the premier urged the defense minister to boost bilateral military cooperation to ensure regional peace and stability.
 

Early last month, Cambodia and Vietnam’s security ministries signed a cooperation agreement committing to the fight [Cambodian patriots against Vietnamese] against cross-border crime[s]. At that time, the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security promised to grant equipment and technical support for the Interior Ministry to assist Cambodian police.

Several examples of the "quipment and technical support" provided by Vietnam in play.
