They reaffirmed their commitment to giving top priority to good-neighborliness, traditional friendship, comprehensive cooperation, and long-term sustainability, while welcoming the continued positive momentum in bilateral relations.
The leaders agreed to maintain regular high-level exchanges, deepen defence and security cooperation, step up coordination in combating transnational crime, and uphold the principle of not allowing any force to use one country's territory against the other.
They also pledged to accelerate border demarcation and marker planting to help build a border of peace, stability, friendship, cooperation and development, while continuing to facilitate stable living conditions for the Vietnamese-origin community in Cambodia and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
Vietnam and Cambodia will also work to consolidate new cooperation mechanisms to better integrate the two economies, advance connectivity between the Ho Chi Minh City-Moc Bai and Bavet-Phnom Penh expressways, expedite the revision and signing of agreements to facilitate cross-border trade and border management, and coordinate activities marking the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations in 2027.
The two sides agreed to strengthen coordination and mutual support within ASEAN, the United Nations and Mekong subregional cooperation mechanisms. They will maintain discussions on strategic issues of shared interest, work together to consolidate ASEAN unity and centrality, and promote the peaceful settlement of disputes in accordance with international law to help preserve regional peace, stability and development.
