At the meeting, the Cambodian trainees were
briefed on the province’s situation by leaders of the provincial Military Command,

consultations to the provincial Party Committee and administration in the work,
and education about defence and military knowledge. The trainees also learnt
about the combination of socio-economic development and defence, military activities,

and drilling activities, as well as the coordination in performing defense and
military tasks.
Alongside, the representatives of the
provincial Party Committee and Military Command discussed many lessons withdrawn
during the process of implementing defence and military tasks.
At the meeting, the trainees raised their ideas related
to experience in combining socio-economic development with defence and security
tasks in the locality, and the role of the local military agencies in giving
advice in socio-economic development in parallel with strengthening security
and defence. They also discussed the organisation and methods of improving
security and defence knowledge for specific groups, along with defence education
for pupils and students, and the popularisation of the issues to the community.
The Cambodian officers also heard about
advantages and difficulties in managing and training reserve and civil defence
forces, as well as measures and experience in building civil defence forces in
foreign-invested businesses. They also discussed the coordination of defence
agencies of the Military Zone 3, the Ministry of Defence and the Military Command
of the province in building, training and managing reserve forces.
All issues raised by the Cambodian officers and
trainees were answered thoroughly at the event.
On behalf of the Cambodian delegation, Lieutenant
General Duang Chanh spoke highly of information and experience shared by the
province on the implementation of local defence and military missions of the provincial
Military Command. He said the practical experience is valuable lessons for the
trainees to apply in the process of directing and conducting defence tasks
after returning home./.
