Vietnam–Cambodia relations have seen strong progress in recent years, with political trust further consolidated on the basis of high-level agreements. In terms of economic, Vietnam is Cambodia’s third-largest trading partner globally and its largest within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Vietnam currently has 229 investment projects in Cambodia with total registered capital of nearly 3 billion USD, focusing on key sectors such as agriculture, telecommunications, banking and energy. These projects have not only generated economic benefits but also contributed to local socio-economic development and job created creation.

Defense and security cooperation between the two countries has been strengthened, playing an important role in maintaining stability along the shared border. Meanwhile, collaboration in culture, society, science and technology, as well as people-to-people exchanges, has been further promoted, particularly cooperation among border localities.
