(VOV) -The Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) Task Force Command on July 28 broke ground on a US$325,000 project to construct a large hall and library in Kandal province as a gift for the Royal Cambodian Army.
The project is expected to boost the traditional friendship ties between the two nations and bolster comprehensive cooperation between the two armies.
The big hall and the library are located in the barracks campus of Parachute Brigade 911-one of the most elite units of the Royal Cambodian Army which is tasked with protecting the capital city Phnom Penh and combating riots and terrorism.
Covering a total area of over 1,200 m2, the Khmer style architectural building will consist of 11 rooms and a conference hall capable of accommodating 500 people, and take 18 months to complete.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, General Mop Sarun – Deputy Commander of the Royal Cambodian Army praised the project as a noble symbol of friendship and cooperation between the two armies, helping strengthen solidarity and friendship between Vietnam and Cambodia.
Under a signed cooperation agreement, this year the Vietnam Defense Ministry has provided a US$21.6 million grant for the Royal Cambodian Army to support equipment purchases, training and health care, of which US$2.4 million is allocated to the Royal Cambodian Army’s construction projects.
