King Norodom Sihamoni welcomed Man’s official visit and his attendance at the 12th General Assembly of the International Conference of Asian Political Parties (ICAPP) and the 11th Plenary Session of International Parliament for Tolerance and Peace (IPTP), affirming that this trip plays an important role in strengthening the special neighbourliness between the two countries.
Mr. Man said the Party, State, National Assembly, and people of Vietnam will work together with Cambodia to continue nurturing the relationship of "good neighbourliness, traditional friendship, comprehensive cooperation, and long-term sustainability" to meet the aspirations of the two nations' people.

According to Chairman Man, the Vietnamese legislature will collaborate with the Senate and National Assembly of Cambodia to further enhance cooperation in legislative affairs, and supervision, and decision-making on major national issues.
He also took this occasion to express his hope that the King and other senior leaders will continue to address difficulties and obstacles, facilitate the naturalisation of people of Vietnamese origin who meet necessary requirements, and create favourable conditions for the Vietnamese community to live and work legally and stably in Cambodia, thus helping them integrate well into society and become a bridge of friendship between the two countries.
