N.A. Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue highlighted the impressive strides made in the bilateral legislative ties, and congratulated Cambodia on successfully performing its Chairmanship of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the 43rd General Assembly of the ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA-43).
He noted that during the ambassador’s term, two-way trade between Vietnam and Cambodia exceeded 10 billion USD, and expressed a hope that the Cambodian Government and Parliament will continue removing obstacles, creating more favorable conditions for investors and businesses of each of the two countries to operate in the other's markets.
The N.A. chairman also said he hopes that on the basis of the established mechanisms, the Vietnamese and Cambodian legislatures will step up delegation exchanges at all levels
For his part, Navuth praised the Vietnamese legislature for its initiatives and active role in activities, especially law-making, and thanked the Vietnamese N.A. for its great support for AIPA-43 hosted by the Cambodian Parliament this year.
He also cited a recent workshop on experience exchange between friendship parliamentarians' groups of Vietnam and Cambodia in Da Nang city and the consultative meeting between the committees for external relations of the N.As of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, as examples of the Vietnamese N.A.'s contribution to the legislative ties between Vietnam and Cambodia, as well as between the three countries.
Navuth pledged that he will, in any position, continue to work to consolidate and promote the relationship between Vietnam and Cambodia and their legislative ties, accelerate the demarcation and marker planting for the remaining 16% of land border as well as handle issues relating to the legal status of people of Vietnamese origin in Cambodia.
