Colonel Vo Thanh Danh also affirmed the cooperative relationship between Dong Nai province and its partner provinces, namely Kampong Thom and Kratie. The units have effectively maintained cooperation and twinning activities, regularly exchanging information and coordinating across various areas of work, especially in providing support, free medical check-ups, distributing medicine, and giving gifts to Cambodian soldiers and civilians.

Colonel Vo Thanh Danh expressed his appreciation to the armed forces and people of Cambodia for their support and assistance, which has enabled Team K72 of the Dong Nai Provincial Military Command to locate and recover numerous remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and experts who laid down their lives in Cambodia during different periods of resistance war.

Colonel Vo Thanh Danh also expressed his hope that the comprehensive cooperative relationship, particularly in the field of national defense, between the Dong Nai Provincial Military Command and the military sub-regions of Kampong Thom and Kratie provinces, along with their subordinate units, will continue to be strengthened, with both sides promoting solidarity and mutual support in fulfilling their tasks, thereby contributing to maintaining the strong ties between the two militaries and the two countries.

Earlier, the working delegation No.2 of the Provincial Military Command visited, presented gifts, and extended Chol Chnam Thmay New Year greetings to several Royal Cambodian Armed Forces units under the Kampong Cham Provincial Military Sub-region.
