We had meeting with him at our hotel, asking about the state of things in Cambodia, also check about the statement translate which he’d speech at IFL Royal University of Phnom Penh on 8th December.
As for the situation of the border, it is stable at Thailand side, but there’s always happened trouble at the border of Vietnam, he said.
The migrants from Vietnam stay on Cambodia side, and cause the trouble with native people, or cheep agriculture products of Vietnam pour into from Cambodia, and buy Cambodian products at an unreasonable low price, etc.
The government work on to solve the problem at the Vietnam border recently.
However, there’s some change that they built the vehicle material factory.
Mr. Hang Vandet also told us about his idea to set up new NGO called ‘Peace Heart Development (PHD)’.
He said he’s preparing for register of this NGO, and thinking about 4 main programs,
1. Pray for Peace beyond any religions
2. Scholarships for poor students
3. Development of moral…Moral education by specialists
4. Market development by progress of technique.
And so on.
There are some parts of sympathy with our CEP policy and mission, so we talked that we can cooperate to do some projects in the future.
We talked each other about 'Damma Yatra' of Maha Gosananda, and Som Bhuntom Buddhist Center in Udon, and more.
