Phnom Penh, 29 April (VNA) – Min Khuu (Min Khun??), vice president of the Kampuchean United Front for National Construction and Defence (UFCDK) of the Cambodian People’s Party said on Saturday that the most important contribution of the UFCDK consisted of reinforcing the great national union in order to establish peace and to build Cambodia.

During the 5th congress of the UFCDK, he expressed thanks to the Vietnamese voluntary soldiers for helping the Cambodian people stop the Khmer Rouge’s genocide.

A delegation from the State and the Fatherland Front of Viet Nam (VFF) led by Huynh Dam, its vice president and secretary-general, participated in the congress. In his address to the congress, the leader of the Vietnamese delegation put emphasis on the State and the VFF maintaining and fostering the fine traditional relationship between the Vietnamese and Cambodian people.

The two parties must stress the need to intensify the two sides’ cooperation through meetings and exchanges of representatives of the two fronts, in particular the upcoming meeting of the representatives of the two parties in Vietnam, Dam stressed.

At that occasion, the UFCDK changed its name into the Solidarity Front for Development of the Cambodian Motherland (SFDCM).

The representatives elected for the leadership of the SFDCM, for a 5th mandate of the honorary consultation council, Chea Sim to chair the Front national council consisting of 391 members, and Heng Samrin to chair the permanent committee of the Front national council consisting of 27 members.

Among those featuring at the Front national council, is Chau Van Chi, the president of the Vietnamese associations in Cambodia.

Present at the opening ceremony on March 6 were Vietnamese Ambassador to Cambodia Le Anh Dung, Cambodian Minister of Cult and Religion Min Khin, diplomats and 250 representatives from the Vietnamese community in Cambodia.
