PHNOM PENH — The first-ever Vietnamese Cultural Week opened on Monday at Chak Tumuk square in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, to help celebrate Viet Nam’s National Day.
The week-long event, which is only a portion of the cultural exchange programme between the two countries, features painting exhibitions, films, and artistic performances by HMC City troupes at night.
Cambodia film lovers can enjoy Chuyen Cua Pao (Pao’s Story) and Doi Cat (Sand Life), as well as three documentary films which discuss the country’s renewal process, both at Kirirum cinema and on TV (Bayon, Apsara and TVK channels).
An artistic troupe from HCM City will take part in the event with songs, circus, dances, traditional musical instruments and fashion programmes. Vo Viet Chung will present to Cambodian audiences his collection Mo Ve Chau A (Dreaming of Asia) and Hoa Tiet Phuong Nam (Southern Patterns).
Famous Vietnamese artists like Thanh Thuy, Kasim Hoang Vu, Hoang Anh and Linh Nga will join the programme.
The event is expected to help with the cultural and artistic co-operative agreement that the two countries signed in 2005.
Cambodian artists expect to visit Viet Nam next year to perform their traditional dance and classic drama, says Ouk Lay from the Ministry of Culture and Art of Cambodia.
On Monday, also to celebrate the 61st anniversary of Viet Nam’s National Day on September 2, a new street in Phnom Penh was named after Viet Nam’s capital city of Ha Noi.
The 10.2 km stretch was upgraded with financial assistance from Ha Noi’s administration and people. — VNS

Chum Reap Sur,

Change cambodia's name to suit the vietnamese? ..sooner or later hun sen will probably change it when the vietnamese gives him more money.
Hun Send starting convert Cambodia to Vietnam formally now......Fuck!
What culture does the Vietcong have anyway? It is the dog eating culture ain't that right! I am amazed to see these Vietcong performing Cambodian traditional dance in Hanio to recieve the CPP clans! This is outrageous! Now what? Now the Vietcong are trying to force their dog eating culture down Cambodian people throat? These Vietcong can go to hell!
AH HUN SEN clans is part of the Vietcong mafia family and this bastard is in for life! It is too bad that AH HUN SEN will have to die if he dare to leave the Vietcong mafia family! Let the devil claimed this bastard life and no Cambodian people will shed a tear over it! The devil will come and claim his life in 2008!
HOW ABOUT JAPANESE BUILT BRIDGES, US BUILT HIGHWAY 4. DO YOU THINK JAPANIZATION AND AMERICANIZATION OVER CAMBODIA? HOW MANY OF YOU COME TO USA AND OTHERS COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD AS THE RESULT OF INDERICT BENEFIT THAT VN FORCES INVADED CAMBODIA? MAY BE YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD BETTER OFF TO LIVE UNDER POL POT RATHER TO SEE YOUN FACES. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO LEAVE YOUR LOVING MOTHERLAND SINCE YOUR COMMENTS ARE SO MUCH PATRIOTISM AND VERY DEEP DEVOTION TO THE KHMER CAUSES.IF I WERE YOU, I WOULD HAVE STAYED INSIDE CAMBODIA REGARDLESS ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. SO BE HONEST TO YOUSELF AND OTHERS.
TO 10:39 AM COMMENTATOR,
DO YOU THINK VN HAS NO CULTURE BUT AT LEAST YOUN PEOPLE DID BEAT THE HELL OUT OF FRENCH IN DIEN BIEN PHOUC IN 1952 AND USA IN SAIGON IN 1975,KHMER ROUGE IN 1979 AS WELL AS CHINA WITH HEAVY CASUALTIES IN 1979. AND NOW MAKE YOU THINK THEY ARE DOING VIETNAMIZATION OVER CAMBODIA. THIS IS PEOPLE YOU THINK THEY DON'T HAVE A PROPER CULTURE. I BELIEVE IF YOUN HAVE A CULTURE THEY WOULD CONQUER THE WORLD. SO BEWARE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS STRENGTH.
We are ethocentrist people. Anything bad, we created a scapegoat. Youns images always looked good, when we can blame on you people. Idiots.
This is the problem with all Vietcong is that they continue to proclaim righteousness over Cambodian people! One thing that the Vietcong do best is to lie, to cheat, and to steal! This is their trademark!
What all Vietcong fail to mention is that the Vietcong continue to subjugate and to oppress million and million of Cambodian people in Southern Vietname called the Khmer Krom! The Vietcong think that with time and all Cambodian people would forget about the Khmer Krom! If this how the Vietcong think and all these Vietcong must be very foolish! What happen to the Khmer Krom is the biggest history lesson that any Cambodian people can learn and pass on to the next generation!
What any Cambodian people have to say in patriotic tone or not! This is the reality that Cambodian people are facing everyday under AH HUN SEN government sponsored by the Vietcong! What kind of a government in the world would allowed 4million to 5million of illegal Vietnamese people to enter Cambodia without proper documentation and this is the fact and the reality! Cambodia has only 13million people!
Any Cambodian people who had the chance to come and live in United States free democratic country is because U.S. government allowed these Cambodian people! To say that it is because of the Vietcong invasion that why Cambodian people were allowed to live in United States is inane! What about the thousand and and thousand of Cambodian people living along the Thai-Cambodian border and they were force to return back to Cambodia by UNCHR and is this the act of the Vietcong too?
Fucken Vietcong will always use their trickery! Nobody understand the Vietcong more than Cambodian people because Cambodian people had been living next to these Vietcong for century! The whole world can fall for the Vietcong tricks but not Cambodian people!
So whatever Cambodian people choose to do or say is their provocative and the Vietcong have no right to tell these Cambodian people in any way! All Vietcong can kiss my ass!
Notre cher pays est déjà vietnamisé à hauteur de 50%, dans un peu de temps, nous serons une minorité sur notre propre territoire.Il est temps que nos dirigeants se réveillent pour combattre contre les fléaux migratoire de masse vietnamienne.
-----------------------------------
Our dear country is already vietnamisé to a total value of 50%, in a little time, we will be a minority on our own territory.It is time that our leaders awake to fight against the plagues migratory of mass Vietnamese
La France avait cede beaucoup de choses y compris une grande partie de territoire khmer au Viets. Et On se demande toujours pourquoi la France soutient toujours les actes agressifs des Viets a l'encontre des Khmers? Est-ce vrai que la fille adoptee de Chirac est Vietnamienne? Si on ne se trompe pas, l'idee de la FEDERATION INDOCHINOISE est celle la France, n'est-ce pas? Vive la bataille de Dien Bien Phu!
-----
France had given up lots of things including a good chunk of Khmer territory to the Viets. And one can only ask why France is still supporting this agressive act of the Viets vis-a-vis Khmers. Is that true that one of Chirac's adopted daugther is Vietnamese? If one is not mistaken, INDOCHINA FEDERATION is France's idea, isn't it? Vive the battle of Dien Bien Phu!

France fucks up everything in everywhere they go.
OOP! I forgot to ask clearly that how many KHMER REGUGEES from the refugees camps in Thailiand had settled down in USA and other countries between 1980-1991?
To 6:13p.m
You are right. Looking at the present day in Iraq, French don't give to The US and Britain or the majority of the world.

Why did we leave Cambodia? or most people were leaving Cambodia? To save our lives and to save some Cambodian people elsewhere! that is why we were living Cambodia. We thought that to invest our lives under a not so bright government wasn't worth it. That is to say the least. We are just plan Cambodian people who love peace, want to live in peace, raise our kids normally and pursue our dream just like any normal people on this Planet Earth would. Cambodia's land did not offer that. Cambodia are too busy fighting! too many confussion was going on! Some Cambodian kids had better be saved somewhere else or we all would be gone!
Thanks God United States, Canada, Autralia and many other countries took us. Where was France in 1979? and to the early of 1980? We love France until that Very day. Want to know the true? I personally don't even want to speak French anymore even if I have a chance to learn or speak all over again. It sounds wierd to the bone, but it true. France isn't all that. Of course I still love Paris, but for now I'm not going... and Cambodia, I will love you to the day I die and my kids as well. I'm very pleased that they are saved and preserved in the third countries. My kids are good and fine Cambodian kids just like any Cambodian kids inside the country. They are no different, except may be they dress and speak a little differently. We have to survive by being able to adopt to a new environment or country that we live in. We are just one of those people that know a little more, able to take a little more and go little further or extra miles, but we are Khmers. If you are not Khmer,I understand that you had your reason, but we had ours. God have purpose for us to leave Cambodia and we were out sucessfully. Thank you God! one million and one billion thank you! and thanks to those countries that allow us to live freely and happily!I will see Cambodia later and in good term. Good bye for now.

If you know that your family are to die of starvation and danger, wouldn't you send some of your family member out to get help? and why do you think many Cambodian living oversea rich and poor slave themself with works, so that we can save some money and send them home? Ever thought of that?
Oh I know, you told me that you forgot or else you told me that you are a Dinosaur. Those big and ugly animals living about some billions years ago. That's right! Hey, I know that those creatures had their brains in their postrior, wasn't it?
I'M ASHAME TO BE YOUN, IF I WAS YOU! GO BACK TO YOUR VEITNAME LAND AND LEAVE OURS!!! YOU ARE JUST TOO STUPID AND WASTE TO BE OUR CITIZEN! KING, THOSE YOUN LUNG TUKE PEOPLE DON'T DESERVE YOUR KINDNESS, TELL THEM TO JUST SHUT THEIR TRAP!
To 10:39a.m
Postrior of 9:19p.m was missed spelling of POSTERIOR OR ASS!
You know what I mean and i'm doing my best holding my tongue in respect to KI's editor. Just so you know that it wasn't easy being pretty and nice to people like you.
Let be honest!
The Vietname war really messed up Cambodia big time and all the bombs dropped by B-52 turning Cambodia into a Stone Age! Then came the fucken Khmer Rouge and the Khmer Vietcong started the fucken Genocide! Then came the Vietcong invasion initiated a 10 years civil war! Then came the resistence Khmer fighter team up with the Khmer Rouge along Thai-Cambodian border to fight the Vietcong invasion! When all these shit going on and Cambodian people expect to live like a civilize human being? Cambodian people need space to breath and to raise a family!
I told you the Vietcong would never try to understand anything that deal with Cambodia! All these fucken Vietcong can think of is that they are Mr. Big Shot and I can rule over you stupid Cambodian! This is the Vietcong mentality!
This is the very reason why the Vietcong will never have peace!
We have to realize that Youn mentality is very irrogant and dominating. If Youn wanted something, Youn become very friendly, respectful, and submissive. "Yes Sir, No Sir", at the same time Youn is being," Haut Tuk, Somlaurng Kak" Youn will try to buy trust and friendship, but once you fall into that, Youn will slowly rob you alive, Khmer term is "Daur Ksay Laur" or "walking above the rope", only Khmer can understand this. That's how Youn took Prei Nokor(south Vietnam). Our ancestors had warn us many generations ago to never trust Youn, yet Khmer fail again. Why do you think China kept them under control for 1,200 years?
Since Youn had an opportunity, Khmer always had the lower hands. Khmer is too naive to realize Youn. Khmer need to get serious by educating it next generations. Only use Youn tactics to deal with Yuon, any other means will not work. Youn will always seek a soft spot and focus on that spot, very martial art-like psychology.
Now Youn is trying to show their good sides through cultural exchange and understanding or other various form of being befriended. Youn is very stubburn in assimilation. Look at the Youn immigrants anywhere, they still retain their attitudes and the psychology of success which in most cases involved deception, wearing two faces.
