VTV.vn - The Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship Monument and the Independence Tower were inaugurated in the Cambodian province of Kompong Chhnang on Tuesday.

It marks Cambodia's 38 years of victory against the Khmer Rouge Pol Pot regime and 50th anniversary of Cambodian-Vietnamese diplomatic ties.

The monument was constructed in 1989 to mark the tenth anniversary of the victory over the Pol Pot regime. It underwent 350,000 dollars-worth of repairs in 2016 funded by the Vietnam Fatherland Front.
