PHNOM PENH — The Party and State recognised their responsibility to reduce poverty and improve job security for the Vietnamese community in Cambodia, said President Nguyen Minh Triet yesterday.

"It is not only a matter for the Vietnamese community there alone," he said during a call at the Vietnamese Embassy in Phnom Penh, where he began a State visit at the invitation of Cambodian King Preah Bat Samdech Preah Boromneath Norodom Sihamoni.

Triet also asked the embassy and other relevant organisations to take the lead in addressing the problem of legal status for Vietnamese people living in Cambodia.

He said he hoped that the community would always stand together, preserve Vietnamese traditional values and look towards their homeland.
