This is PM Le Minh Hung’s first official trip to Laos and Cambodia, reaffirming the high importance and priority that the Party, State and Government of Viet Nam attach to relations with the two neighboring countries. It also helps further deepen the “great friendship, special solidarity, comprehensive cooperation and strategic cohesion” between Viet Nam and Laos and the “good neighborliness, traditional friendship, comprehensive cooperation and long-term sustainability” between Viet Nam and Cambodia.

The trip is a concrete step in implementing the foreign policy outlined at the 14th National Party Congress and the Politburo’s strategic resolutions, which give high priority to relations with Laos and Cambodia. A key focus of the trip is to advance the implementation of agreements and commitments reached by senior leaders of Viet Nam, Laos and Cambodia in recent years, making bilateral ties with the two neighboring countries increasingly substantive and effective, while contributing to peace, stability, cooperation and development in the region.
