An executive board comprising 85 members was also elected during the event.
In the previous tenure, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, the KVA worked with its chapters, the Embassy of Vietnam and localities to help Cambodians of Vietnamese origin get vaccinations and distribute supplies and aid packages to pandemic-hit families.
Vietnamese Ambassador Nguyen Huy Tang hailed contributions of the KVA to protecting legitimate rights of its members and supporting Vietnamese-Cambodians in the recent past.
He urged the association to step up the work and call on people to adhere to regulations and nurture the Vietnam-Cambodia ties in the coming time.
