Commission on Economy, Finance, Banking, and Auditing; Loy Sophat, Chairman of the N.A. Commission on Planning, Investment, Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, Rural Development, Environment, Water Resources and Meteorology; and Kep Chuk Tema, Chairman of the N.A. Commission on Interior, National Defense, Public Service, and Border Affairs; among other officials.

The visit will open a new chapter in the history of relations between the two legislatures, said Dr. Chheang Vannarith, Deputy Secretary-General and Chairman of the Advisory Council of the Cambodian National Assembly.

He said the two sides share the goal of putting people at the center through cooperation activities, while continuing to consolidate and strengthen the friendship between the two countries and their people, particularly in the legislative sphere, and implementing the agreement reached between the two Parties at a high-level meeting held in Phnom Penh in February.

Dr. Chheang Vannarith noted that this is the second visit to Vietnam by President Samdech Maha Rathsapheathika Thipadei Khuon Sudary, while N.A. Chairman Man also visited Cambodia in November 2024.

In an interview with a Vietnam News Agency correspondent based in Phnom Penh on this occasion, Vietnamese Ambassador to Cambodia Nguyen Minh Vu stated that the visit is a highly significant high-level diplomatic activity that will further consolidate and deepen the bilateral relationship in the spirit of “good neighborliness, traditional friendship, comprehensive cooperation, and long-term sustainability.”

The ambassador affirmed that the visit also provides an opportunity for the two sides to review cooperation outcomes across various fields, particularly parliamentary diplomacy, and to set orientations for elevating Vietnam - Cambodia relations to a new level with greater depth.

During the visit, the Cambodian N.A. leader is scheduled to hold talks with her Vietnamese counterpart Tran Thanh Man, meet with key Vietnamese leaders, and visit several Vietnamese corporations and healthcare facilities. In addition, specialized agencies of the two legislatures are expected to hold discussions to promote cooperation in the coming period.
