School leaders visited and congratulated Cambodian students on the occasion of Chol Chnam Thmey New Year.

On the occasion of the traditional New Year Chol Chnam Thmey in 2020, the Board of Directors of Kien Giang University visited and gave gifts to Cambodian students studying at the University, and sent letters of New Year wishes to international students in Cambodia.

In his New Year greeting letter, the School Rector, Dr. Nguyen Tuan Khanh, wrote: "On the occasion of the beginning of the new year, the Party Committee and School Board of Directors would like to sincerely thank international students for trusting and choosing Kien Giang University as the place to realize your dream of becoming engineers and bachelors. I hope that Cambodian international students continue to promote the tradition of solidarity, overcome difficulties, excel in learning, preserve and promote the good traditional cultural identity of the nation; celebrate traditional Spring in accordance with the situation; well implement the State's regulations on Covid-19 epidemic prevention and control to contribute to a safe, prosperous, and happy life for yourself and the community."

The celebration of Chol Chnam Thmey New Year by the Khmer ethnic people was a cultural feature of Cambodians in particular, or Khmer people in general. Chol Chnam Thmey New Year was an opportunity to connect international students attending Kien Giang University together. This was also an opportunity for Cambodian students to remember their ancestors and look forward to the good traditional values of the nation.

Chol Chnam Thmey New Year took place in the spirit of "thoughtfulness, solidarity, joy, safety and thrift", ensuring the preservation of the fine traditional cultural identity of Khmer ethnic students at Kien Giang University.

This visit, gift giving and New Year wishes showed the school’s deep concern for the spiritual life of Cambodian international students attending the School during the Covid-19 epidemic situation.
