Cambodia will forever maintain and nurture its friendship with Vietnam and strengthen the bilateral partnership to develop amidst the complex global situation, the Cambodian official said.

He informed Thuong on the outcomes of his visit to enhance cooperation between the two Parties and States, particularly between their young army officers and youths. He also thanked Vietnam for supporting Cambodia’s tenure as ASEAN Chair this year and at international and regional forums.

For his part, Thuong emphasized that the CPV and CPP share common roots from the Indochinese Communist Party, and  expressed his pleasure at the thriving relations between the two countries, with defense cooperation as a pillar. He expected the two Parties to remain united and keep supporting each other for future progress.

Vietnam is willing to support Cambodia in promoting external affairs, he said, noting that he is confident that under the leadership of King Sihamoni and the CPP, Cambodia will continue building a prosperous and developed country.
