The two sides reached high consensus on stronger partnerships in the fight against terrorism, trans-national crime, smuggling, and drug and human trafficking while reiterating the observance of the principle of not allowing any hostile forces to exploit one’s territory to harm security in the other and intervene in the other’s internal affairs. The leaders reiterated their resolve to complete the border demarcation as soon as possible.

On the East Sea issues, they consented to uphold ASEAN’s common stance mentioned in its Six-Point Principle on the East Sea, placing importance on maintaining peace and stability in the East Sea, settling disputes by peaceful means in line with international law and the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea while speeding up the implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea and the formulation of a Code of Conduct in the East Sea between ASEAN and China.

Discussing regional and global issues of common concern, they pledged to work closely together at multilateral frameworks like the United Nations, ASEAN and other regional and sub-regional cooperation mechanisms.

The leaders witnessed the signing of 10 cooperation documents. During his stay, Prime Minister Hun Sen also met with Vietnamese investors in Cambodia, former experts and former Vietnamese voluntary soldiers who had stood side by side with the Cambodian people during the war time.
