The Lao and Cambodian military delegations arrived in Ho Chi Minh City to participate in the parade at the invitation of the Vietnamese Ministry of Defense . The soldiers participated in the second joint training session on Le Duan Street on the evening of April 22, with more than 100 soldiers from each country participating.
Lieutenant Colonel Biphoss, Commander of the intervention unit, Royal Gendarmerie Command of Cambodia, said that the team had about 10 days of training before going to Vietnam.
According to the regulations, the soldiers will march for about 100 meters, then shout slogans and march at attention for 300 meters. During the march, the soldiers will wave their arms decisively, demonstrating the typical discipline of the Cambodian army.
Training location for forces participating in the Lao and Cambodian military parade in Binh Duong new city, about 30km from Ho Chi Minh City.
Lieutenant Colonel Biphoss said that the climate in Binh Duong and Ho Chi Minh City is similar to Cambodia, so it did not take the group much time to adapt.
The soldiers in the Cambodian army parade formation have impressive heights ranging from 1.8m to 1.85m. Lieutenant Colonel Biphoss said that the soldiers participating were carefully selected to ensure uniformity, contributing to creating a strong and solemn image during the ceremony.
Under the sunny weather, soldiers of the Royal Cambodian Army practiced diligently, sweat soaked their faces, showing warmth and friendliness when communicating with Vietnamese reporters.
About 300 meters away, on the afternoon of April 24, the Lao army also participated in training. Soldiers prepared their uniforms and put on their shoes before training.
Earlier, from 2:30 p.m., dozens of specialized vehicles took turns taking soldiers from nearby hotels to the training site. The area was then cordoned off, tents were set up, and medical equipment was arranged to serve the training session.

A week ago, soldiers of the Lao People's Army arrived at Phu Bai airport, Hue, from there they transferred to Tan Son Nhat airport and continued to a hotel in Thu Dau Mot city to stay and train.
The soldiers moved in a military manner. Three commanders stood in front and on the left and right of the formation, adjusting the pace to ensure the formation moved in unison.
Colonel Nguyen Dinh Chuan, Political Commissar of Binh Duong Provincial Military Command, said that Binh Duong province is very proud to be assigned the task of ensuring food, accommodation and training for the military blocs of China, Laos and Cambodia. This is both a responsibility and an honor for the locality in contributing to the success of this important event.
The military delegations of the two countries attending the parade demonstrate the solidarity and friendship between the countries; at the same time, it is an opportunity to share joy with the Vietnamese people.
After the training session, the Vietnamese army and soldiers from neighboring countries put away their weapons and military uniforms at the assembly point to prepare for the next day's training session.
