Vietnam and Cambodia to enhance bilateral relationship
By Anh Kiet 15:51, 2016/06/16
On June 15, President Tran Dai Quang met with leaders of Cambodian legislature and government in Phnom Penh, assuring them that the Vietnamese Party, State and people always do their best to enhance bilateral relationship with Cambodia.
Senate President Say Chhum and National Assembly Chairman Heng Samrin expressed their firm belief that under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Vietnam will reap more achievements during the process of industrialisation and modernisation. NA Chairman Heng Samrin spoke highly of close cooperation between the legislative bodies of Cambodia and Vietnam on bilateral and multilateral channels, particularly at regional and global inter-parliamentary forums. 

President Quang stressed that the two countries need to further tighten solidarity and friendship to meet the expectations of the two peoples amid complicated developments in the region and the world at present.

In such a spirit, both sides agreed to hold activities celebrating the 50 th anniversary of Vietnam-Cambodia diplomatic ties (June 24, 2017), considering it a chance to raise awareness of the two countries’ younger generations about the tradition of friendship, cooperation and mutual support between the two nations. 

In the meeting with Prime Minister Hun Sen, the Vietnamese President expressed his belief that the Cambodian People’s Party and the government led by Hun Sen will continue taking the country on the way toward prosperity in the coming years. 

He thanked his host for directing support for Vietnamese nationals living in Cambodia over the past years, adding that he hopes the Hun Sen government will deal with difficulties faced by them, especially those regarding legal position, to help them settle down in the host country. 

Host and guest committed to fully realising commitments to contribute to peace, stability and development in the region and the world, facilitating high-level visits and people-to-people exchange. They agreed to direct their ministries and agencies to work closely together to fine-tune relevant mechanisms and agreements to push forward trade, investment, economic connectivity, education-training, and tourism. 

The two sides also vowed to consider measures to raise bilateral trade to 5 billion USD, including the signing of an agreement on double taxation avoidance and building of a programme to connect the two economies, especially cross-border economic development. 

Discussing regional and global issues of shared concern, the two sides pledged to continue coordinating at multilateral forums to which they are members, speeding up the peaceful settlement of regional and global disputes, and working with each other and with other Mekong River Commission members to ensure the sustainable management and use of water resources in the Mekong River. 

Vietnam and Cambodia have agreed to continue their mutual support and close collaboration in order to strengthen the “good neighbourliness, traditional friendship and comprehensive, sustainable and long-term cooperation” between the two countries, thus bringing pragmatic interests to their people. Vietnam always treasures the good sentiments and valuable support of Cambodia and the Cambodian people towards Vietnam during its past struggle for national independence and the present cause of national construction and development, he said.

Vietnam always wishes to work together with Cambodia to consolidate and further develop the fruitful friendship and cooperation between the two countries, for the sake of the two countries’ people and for peace, stability and development in the region and the world at large, he said, showing his belief that Cambodia will continue to nurture the relationship.
