Applauding the contributions of the Cambodian PM to the good relations between Vietnam and Cambodia, Chairman Hue proposed that PM Hun Sen continue to direct the promotion of friendship and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries, including collaboration in defense, security, border, trade, investment, agriculture, and tourism.

He asked for favorable conditions for Cambodians of Vietnamese origin to stabilize their lives and actively contribute to the prosperous development of Cambodia and the relations between the two countries.

The two leaders said that given the complicated and unpredictable developments in the world economic and political situation, it is necessary for the two parties, two States and two peoples to strengthen solidarity and political trust, step up economic cooperation, strive to maintain solidarity and unity, uphold the principle of consensus, and affirm ASEAN's centrality in the region’s security structure as well as uphold ASEAN's principles on the East Sea issue.

National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue on Sunday met Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Men Sam An and both agreed on the need for the two countries to bolster cooperation in all channels, including collaboration between their legislatures and localities sharing the border line.

They agreed to intensify people-to-people exchanges in pragmatic, effective forms such as through activities of the Vietnam-Cambodia and Cambodia-Vietnam Friendship Associations and Friendship Parliamentarians Groups.

They shared the view that such move will raise the awareness of the two countries’ young generations about the importance of the good neighbourliness, traditional friendship, and comprehensive, sustainable and long-term cooperation between the two countries.
