However, they were kept in the neighbouring country by Cambodian authorities who are waiting to verify their identity.

An official in Tay Ninh province said that the locality has co-ordinated with Cambodia in a bid to ensure security and order, as well as providing the returnees with all necessary support and taking legal steps to permit their entry into Vietnam.
