The Vietnamese leader proposed that both sides should continue facilitating high-level visits and meetings between leaders, enhance the effectiveness of existing cooperation agreements and mechanisms, and strengthen unity and cooperation among Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Further efforts should be made to improve economic cooperation, towards achieving the goal of 20 billion USD in two-way trade soon.
PM Chinh expected Cambodia to continue clearing difficulties for people of Vietnamese origin in Cambodia, while creating favourable conditions for Vietnamese firms to do business there.
The PM reaffirmed the principle of not allowing hostile forces to use either country’s territory to harm the security and interests of the other. Efforts should also be made to fulfill the remaining 16% workload of border demarcation and marker planting, striving to build a borderline of peace, friendship, cooperation and sustainable development, he added.
The Cambodian Minister pledged to further deepen the bilateral relationship, aligning with the agreements made by high-ranking leaders.
