The two leaders agreed to encourage the National Assembly of both countries to support strengthening economic linkages through enhanced infrastructure connectivity, including road, waterway, and air transport, and border crossings. This will create momentum for trade, investment, and sustainable development cooperation between the two countries and people-to-people exchanges; and to enhance close and effective coordination in combating cross-border crime, they said.
The two leaders also agreed to deepen parliamentary cooperation through exchanges of high-level delegations, specialized committees, parliamentary friendship groups, young parliamentarians, and female parliamentarians.
They stressed the need to maintain close coordination at multilateral forums such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), the Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum (APPF), the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly, the Francophone Parliamentary Assembly, and other inter-regional cooperation mechanisms.
