Cambodian newspaper highlights Vietnam-Cambodia economic ties
Party General Secretary and President Nguyen Phu Trong (Photo: VNA) Phnom Penh (VNA) – Khmer Times, one of the two largest English dailies in Cambodia, on February 25 ran an article describing economic ties as a driving force of the relationship between Vietnam and Cambodia. Titled “Vietnam–Cambodia economic relations on solid footing,” the article was published ahead of the State visit to Cambodia by General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee and President Nguyen Phu Trong from February 25-26. It said the visit takes place as Vietnam-Cambodia ties continue to thrive, with strong emphasis on preserving, cementing and promoting relations of “good neighbourliness, traditional friendship, comprehensive cooperation and long term sustainability” between the two countries.

Time now the enemy in battle to find missing GIs in jungles of Vietnam
Seventeen years earlier, Johnson’s father died in a helicopter crash on a similar mission to find some of the 1,600 U.S. servicemen and women killed in the Vietnam War whose bodies have still not been located. “The last time (my mother) had a family member here, he didn’t come back, so she was kind of nervous,” said 26-year-old Johnson, a radio frequency transmission systems technician stationed in Japan with the U.S. Air Force. In an unlikely twist of fate, Johnson was assigned to help recover the remains of a Marine pilot whose plane crashed during a night mission in central Quang Ngai province in 1966. She spent weeks scouring the forest for bone shards or tooth fragments, learning a few words of Vietnamese, the same work her father, U.S. Army Sergeant First Class Tommy Murphy, did before he died in 2001. He was among seven Americans and nine Vietnamese killed when their helicopter slammed into the side of a mountain in bad weather. Johnson said her trip was … [Read more...] about Time now the enemy in battle to find missing GIs in jungles of Vietnam
‘No job, no money’: Life in Vietnam for immigrants deported by US
It wasn’t until Pham Chi Cuong saw the plane waiting to deport him from the United States that it sunk in that he was about to be sent back to Vietnam, the country he fled in 1990. Cuong and at least three other deportees who had lived in America for decades were returned to Vietnam in December 2017 as part of a renewed Trump administration push to deport immigrants convicted of crimes in the United States. The expulsions were carried out despite a 2008 bilateral agreement that Vietnamese immigrants who arrived in the United States prior to 1995, many of whom had supported the now defunct U.S.-backed state of South Vietnam, would not be sent back. Cuong and the other men, who spoke to Reuters this week in Ho Chi Minh City, said they spent the 17-hour flight in enforced silence, their hands and legs in restraints. Adjusting to life in Vietnam, the men all said, has been difficult. They said they were viewed with suspicion by Vietnamese officials and have had trouble finding work. … [Read more...] about ‘No job, no money’: Life in Vietnam for immigrants deported by US
