President Nguyen Xuan Phuc has promised to support Cambodia's ethnic Vietnamese to soon have legal identities as they are not registered citizens in either country.

 

During a meeting on Wednesday with officials at the Vietnamese Embassy and representatives of businesses and the Vietnamese community in Cambodia, President Phuc said "there is no community that has encountered as many difficulties as the ethnic Vietnamese in Cambodia."

 

It is because of their "uncertain legal status," and many of them do not have any identity documents such as ID cards or passports, he said.
