The Vice President expressed her hope that the neighboring country will successfully organize its general election in July and the 12th ASEAN Para Games in June, thus contributing to raising its role and position in the region and the world, and building the ASEAN Community of peace, stability, solidarity and prosperity.

The host noted with pleasure the fruitful development of the Vietnam - Cambodia relationship, as reflected through regular exchanges of visits and bilateral cooperation mechanisms, and the efficiency in collaboration in economy, trade, investment, education - training, culture and tourism.

Vietnam always attaches importance to and gives the highest priority to enhancing the good neighborliness, traditional friendship, and comprehensive, sustainable and long-term cooperation with Cambodia, Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan affirmed.

She also commended the close ties between front organizations of the two countries, and suggested them maintain the coordination, effectively materialize their signed agreements, and carry forward their role in the relations between the two parties, states and peoples, as well as in cooperation between localities, especially border ones.

The two front organizations should step up the communications work to raise public awareness of the Vietnam - Cambodia relationship, she continued.

Vice President Vo Thi Anh Xuan called on the Cambodian side to continue their support to people of Vietnamese origin in the country, and help them remove difficulties, including those relating to citizenship procedures, thus helping them stabilize their lives, integrate into the host society, and serve as a friendship bridge between the two countries.

She also suggested Cambodia facilitate the operation of Vietnamese investors and businesses in the country.

Nhem Valy, Permanent Vice Chairman and Secretary General of the National Council of the Solidarity for the Development of Cambodian Motherland, who led the delegation, briefed his host on Cambodia’s socio-economic situation.

He used the occasion to thank the Vietnamese Party, State and people, particularly volunteer soldiers, for their support to Cambodian people’s past struggle against the genocidal regime and their present cause of national construction and development.
