When receiving Cambodian Ambassador to Viet Nam Chea Kimtha, Mr. Quang acknowledged that Da Nang and Cambodia shared many similarities, especially the long-standing Champa culture. He added that the operation of the Da Nang - Siem Reap direct flight since 2020 has facilitated the two sides to boost tourism and culture cooperation.

Thanking the city leader for his warm welcome, Cambodian Ambassador Chea Kimtha expressed her impression with Da Nang's rapid growth, especially in the tourism industry.

She hoped that the two sides will increasingly strengthen people-to-people exchange activities, and cooperation programmes in fields of tourism, trade, education, agriculture and human resources.
